Photon delivery system

^# Mode 1 4 - 10 keV focussed ~ 0.5 x 1mm Si(111) 10¹⁰ - 10¹² ph/s
   Mode 2 8 - 18 keV focussed ~ 0.5 x 1 mm Si(111) 10¹⁰ - 10¹² ph/s
   Mode 4 15 - 35 keV focussed ~ 0.5 x 1 mm Si(311) 10⁹ - 10¹¹ ph/s
   Mode 5 10 - 42 keV unfocussed < 3 x 15 mm Si(311)

Note that Mode 5 uses no mirrors and thus there is limited control over harmonic content (not ideal for XAS experiments).

 Detectors and Ancillaries

The beamline consists of two experimental stations: 1st hutch and 2nd hutch.

In the 1st hutch standard experiments are run. These are experiments requiring little or no modification from one user group to the next in terms of hardware setup. That limits the type of experiments to samples prepared in our standard sample holders to be measured either at ambient temperature and pressure or in our cryostat in transmission or fluorescence mode.

In the 2nd hutch non-standard experiments may be run. This type of experiments include users having their own apparatus (e.g. sample cells or detectors) or special samples (e.g. large, fragile, radioactive, toxic or bio-hazards).
