Dear Mark, thanks for your answer!

Yes, there is an actual change in energy and I guess my problem does not
have a single source!

In the case you know someone who faced/have faced a similar problem
around please tell me.

Brazilian regards,

LS.


1. Is the energy drift a change in flux or actual change in wavelength?
In the case of a change in flux it could be that you require more
cooling, what temperature is the cooling water at and how constant is
the water temperature? You may need to lower the cooling water
temperature. On beamline 10 at the SRS, the 1st mirror is cooled by the
synchrotron deionised water supply at a temperature of ~20oC, however we
cool the monochromator crystals on an independent water supply,
typically at a temperature of 4oC. We do see a drastic shift in beam
intensity when we go to wavelengths >2.2A (beam fluctuates wildly),
consequently we limit operations to wavelengths between 0.875 and 2.1A.

If it is a real change in energy/wavelength then there is a more serious
problem. It would suggest a change in the beam entering the optical
elements.
