Since spring 2019 an experimental setup consisting of an electron spectrometer and an ion time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer for diluted samples has been available for users at the FinEstBeAMS beamline of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. The setup enables users to study the interaction of atoms, molecules, (molecular) microclusters and nanoparticles with short‐wavelength (vacuum ultraviolet and X‐ray) synchrotron radiation and to follow the electron and nuclear dynamics induced by this interaction. Test measurements of N 2 and thiophene (C 4 H 4 S) molecules have demonstrated that the setup can be used for many‐particle coincidence spectroscopy. The measurements of the Ar 3 p photoelectron spectra by linear horizontal and vertical polarization show that angle‐resolved experiments can also be performed. The possibility to compare the electron spectroscopic results of diluted samples with solid targets in the case of Co 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 at the Co and Fe L 2,3 ‐absorption edges in the same experimental session is also demonstrated. Because the photon energy range of the FinEstBeAMS beamline extends from 4.4 eV up to 1000 eV, electron, ion and coincidence spectroscopy studies can be executed in a very broad photon energy range.
