This beamline is complementary to BL 2C with the additional advantage that it covers the low energy region between 40 and 250 eV with potentially superior performance to BL 3B It should therefore be competitive with a beamline covering a similar energy range on a 3rd generation source The scientific programme is internationally competitive particularly in the area of two electron excitation and ionisation Once the optical system is upgraded with the problems mentioned in the report corrected this beamline should remain competitive for some years to come 3.
