Project of the VUV-range synchrotron radiation station for the flame diagnosis
The paper described the project of the synchrotron radiation station, which will allow to carry out the of fundamental research of flame, including the kinetics and mechanism of chemical reactions in the flame at the level of elementary stages, and the mechanism as well kinetics of the reactions in the thermal decomposition of condensed substances. The principle of operation of the station is based on the mass spectrometric analysis of the intermediate products of combustion which selected from a variety of regions of the flame. The ionization of the studied products for its analysis is done using synchrotron radiation (SR) VUV (5-20 eV photon energy). The station based on the ultra-high vacuum beamline with differential pumping system. Optical scheme of the station includes the plane grating monochromator. The paper briefly describes the basic parameters of the station, its optical scheme, layout of the beamline and analyzer equipment. The proposed station will be the only one in Russia and one of only three in the world.
