| For most of the experiments in the S800, the analysis line is run in focus mode. In this optics, the analysis line is achromatic, i.e. the dispersive position of the beam focused in the target area (pivot point) does not depend on the momentum. Thus, this mode provides the biggest momentum acceptance (4%). On the other hand, since the spectrograph focal plane is chromatic, the resolution is limited to about 1 part in 1000 in energy. | For most of the experiments in the S800, the analysis line is run in focus mode.
