A beamline for photochemical processes at atmospheric pressure.
A beamline especially designed for atmospheric photochemical reactions has been constructed at the NTT synchrotron radiation facility. By inserting a buffer helium chamber with Be and Si(3)N(4) partition windows between the beamline and the reaction chamber, studies can be performed without the differential pumping systems normally used in existing photochemistry beamlines. The reaction chamber is equipped with a gas supply system and analysis systems to investigate gas-phase and surface reactions. Purging using dry purified gases in combination with water-bubbling gives effective control of water concentration in the reaction chamber.
