The first experimental results obtained from the Canadian SGM beamline at SRC (Synchrotron Radiation Centre, University of Wisconsin‐Madison, USA) are reported. The beamline is based on the Dragon‐type design, with a constant deviation angle, using photons from a second‐generation bending‐magnet light source. The medium‐energy grating on this beamline covers a photon energy range from 240 to 700 eV, with a ruling density of 600 lines mm −1 . A maximum resolving power of ∼10000 is achieved at a photon energy of ∼400 eV. Gas‐phase absorption spectra collected at the N, O and C K ‐edges are presented to demonstrate the excellent performance of this beamline. High‐resolution absorption spectra of some C‐ and Ti‐containing solid‐state samples are also reported.
