LEB   Low Energy Beamline 

All the optical and vacuum components of the LEB beamline were purchased and mounted during 2008. All the system is in vacuum contact to the main ring and is all in UHV but the connecting pipes from the ring to the laboratory, which are NEG coated chambers (LHC type) and need to be backed removing the present lead safety screen. Safety protocol and control systems have been established (with the aid of the Control Service of the Research Division) and will be completed and tested as soon as possible. In the course of 2009 it will be possible to finally commission the entire LEB beamline and start to deliver photons from 35 eV to 200 eV to interested users.
