Abstract
The Shanghai Soft X-ray Free-Electron Laser (SXFEL) is the first X-ray freeelectron laser facility in China. The SASE beamline, which consists of a pinkbeam branch and a mono-beam branch, is one of the two beamlines in the Phase-I construction. The pink-beam branch opened for users in 2023 after successful first-round beamline commissioning. In this paper, the design of the beamline is presented and the performance of the pink-beam branch is reported. The measured energy-resolving power of the online spectrometer is over 6000 @ 400 eV. The focusing spot size of the pink beam is less than 3 μm in both the horizontal and vertical at the endstation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
