This monochromator is an optimized version of the first monochromator installed at the SXR beamline at SLAC (see project P308). The required grazing incidence at XFEL beamlines implies a large distance between pre-mirror and grating, which explains the stadium-shaped footprint of the vacuum chamber.
The long pre-mirror integrated in this monochromator required an adapted design to achieve the requested high repeatability and stability of mirror and grating pitch rotations. Special attention was payed to block zero-order and stray light by using several water cooled masks and beam stops.
