ABSTRACT
A new instrument named COMET for COherent Magnetic scattering Experiments in Transmission using polarized soft X-rays has been designed and built. This high-vacuum setup is placed at the intermediate focal point of the elastic branch of the SEXTANTS beamline at Synchrotron SOLEIL. The main application is in solid state physics, the instrument being optimized for studying material properties using coherent scattering of soft X-rays with an emphasis on imaging, with chemical selectivity, the magnetic domains of artificially nano-structured materials. The instrument's principal features are presented and illustrated through recently performed experiments.
