ANTARES, a scanning photoemission microscopy beamline at SOLEIL
  As one of the latest beamline built at the SOLEIL synchrotron source, ANTARES beamline offers a spectroscopic non-destructive nano-probe to study advanced materials. This innovative scanning photoemission microscopy combines linear and angle sweeps to perform precise electronic band structure determination by Nano Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (nanoARPES) and chemical imaging by core level detection. The beamline integrates effectively insertion devices and a high transmission beamline optics. This photon source has been combined with an advanced microscope, which has precise sample handling abilities. Moreover, it is fully compatible with a high resolution R4000 Scienta hemispherical analyzer and a set of Fresnel Zone Plates (FZP) able to focalize the beam spot up to a few tenths of nanometers, depending on the spatial resolution of the selected FZP. We present here the main conceptual design of the beamline and endstation, together with some of the firsts commissioning results.
