Gas Phase Photoemission - Photoelectron and fluorescence spectroscopy

The Gas Phase Photoemission (GAPH) beamline is the only one at Elettra specifically devoted to research on gaseous systems.
GAPH offers a multi-technique approach for investigation of electronic properties of free atoms, molecules and clusters in the photon energy range 13-1200 eV.

The broad energy range, the high resolving power and flux together with the purpose built end-stations, make this facility ideal for investigating the spectroscopy and dynamics of basic processes like inner-shell and multiple excitations and ionisation, as well as for characterising key processes relevant to several areas of science and technology (for example atmospheric chemistry, material science and biomedical sciences).
