We present the design and performance of a polarized resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSoXS) station for soft matter characterization built by the national institute of standards and technology at the national synchrotron light source-II (NSLS-II). The RSoXS station is located within the spectroscopy soft and tender beamline suite at NSLS-II located in Brookhaven national laboratory, New York. Numerous elements of the RSoXS station were designed for optimal performance for measurements on soft matter systems, where it is of critical importance to minimize beam damage and maximize collection efficiency of polarized x-rays. These elements include a novel optical design, sample manipulator and sample environments, as well as detector setups. Finally, we will report the performance of the measurement station, including energy resolution, higher harmonic content and suppression methods, the extent and mitigation of the carbon absorption dip on optics, and the range of polarizations available from the elliptically polarized undulator source.

我们介绍了由国家标准与技术研究所在国家同步加速器光源 II (NSLS-II) 上建造的用于软物质表征的偏振共振软 X 射线散射 (RSoXS) 站的设计和性能。RSoXS 站位于纽约布鲁克海文国家实验室 NSLS-II 的光谱软柔光束线套件内。RSoXS 站的许多元件旨在为软物质系统的测量提供最佳性能，在这些系统中，最大限度地减少光束损坏和最大限度地提高偏振 X 射线的收集效率至关重要。这些元素包括新颖的光学设计、样品操纵器和样品环境，以及检测器设置。最后，我们将报告测量站的性能，包括能量分辨率，
