Abstract = {{Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) in the soft x-ray range is an
   element-specific energy-loss spectroscopy used to probe the electronic
   and magnetic excitations in strongly correlated solids. In the recent
   years, RIXS has been progressing very quickly in terms of energy
   resolution and understanding of the experimental results, but the
   interpretation of spectra could further improve, sometimes decisively,
   from a full knowledge of the polarization of incident and scattered
   photons. Here we present the first implementation, in a high resolution
   soft-RIXS spectrometer used to analyze the scattered radiation, of a
   device allowing the measurement of the degree of linear polarization.
   The system, based on a graded W/B4C multilayer mirror installed in
   proximity of the CCD detector, has been installed on the AXES
   spectrometer at the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility); it
   has been fully characterized and it has been used for a demonstration
   experiment at the Cu L-3 edge on a high-T-c superconducting cuprate. The
   loss in efficiency suffered by the spectrometer equipped with this test
   facility was a factor 17.5. We propose also a more advanced version,
   suitable for a routine use on the next generation of RIXS spectrometers
   and with an overall efficiency up to 10%. (c) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.}},
