Beamline Coordinates

X-Y-Z

34IDE beamline XYZ and XHF coordinate systems, side view from outside of the ring.
• X: radial direction of the ring, horizontal, pointing outboard to the doors.
• Y: vertically upward (against gravity).
• Z: along the x-ray beam

X-H-F

Because we routinely deal with motions in 45°-tilted directions, H and F are introduced as alternative coordinates to Y and Z:

• H: 45° upward-downstream (combination of +Y and +Z), this is the typical movement direction of the depth-profiling wire.
• F: 45° downward-downstream (combination of -Y and +Z), this is the "focus" direction of the sample under the optical microscope.

$H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(Y+Z)$

$F = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(-Y+Z)$

Figure B (right): 2D diagram showing the "bottom view" (viewed from the sample spot) of the three detectors. This view also correspond to the relative positions between the three detector's images as they are displayed on the beamline computer monitors.
