Beamline for calibration of transfer standard light sources in the UV and VUV regions

Abstract

A beamline which serves for calibrating transfer standard light sources (deuterium lamps, excimer lamps, Xe lamps etc.) in the UV and VUV regions is being constructed. The synchrotron radiation from the electron storage ring TERAS (750 MeV) is used as a primary standard of spectral radiant intensity. In order to use synchrotron radiation as a primary standard, the electron beam and synchrotron radiation beam parameters need to be evaluated. Uncertainties of synchrotron radiation flux evaluated by measurements of the magnetic flux density, the position of the electron orbital plane, the electron beam size and the distance from the synchrotron radiation tangent point to the detector system are expected to be about 0.003, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1%, respectively.
