14. The main causes of error are (i) the uncalibrated fluorescence yield of the Ce:YAG screen and (ii) the different angular distributions of the fundamental and the harmonics.
15. Since the transmission of the beamline is almost constant over the 30-130eV photon energy range, only the total FEL intensity is reduced between the spectrometer and the end station, located about 25 and 70 m behind the undulator, respectively.
