The technique of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) has been exploited at the ESRF since the very early days of the facility in the 1990s. Of particular importance has been the pioneering hard X-ray work on ID16 and that by the Milano group of L. Braicovich and G. Ghiringhelli in collaboration with the ESRF at the soft X-ray beamline (originally on ID12B and then at ID08). The success of these activities has in many cases led to the development of the technique at other facilities. Both the hard and soft X-ray RIXS facilities at the ESRF will be upgraded in the next two years so it is timely to briefly outline what scientific problems can be addressed by the method, what the current status is at the ESRF, and how the experimental capabilities will be enhanced in the near future.

Abstract
The technique of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) has been exploited at the ESRF since the very early days of the facility in the 1990s. Of particular importance has been the pioneering hard X-ray work on ID16 and that by the Milano group of L. Braicovich and G. Ghiringhelli in collaboration with the ESRF at the soft X-ray beamline (originally on ID12B and then at ID08). The success of these activities has in many cases led to the development of the technique at other facilities. Both the hard and soft X-ray RIXS facilities at the ESRF will be upgraded in the next two years so it is timely to briefly outline what scientific problems can be addressed by the method, what the current status is at the ESRF, and how the experimental capabilities will be enhanced in the near future.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
