FAME beamline - BM30B

 

Fame is the French Absorption spectropy beamline in Material and Environmental science.

Fame uses X-RAY absorbption for strutural investigation of (very) diluted systems of environmental, material and biological interest.

The CRG-FAME beamline at the ESRF is dedicated to X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). Opened to users since September 2002, FAME covers a wide variety of common applications of XAS in condensed matter physics, materials science, biophysics, chemistry and mainly in geochemical sciences (more than 50% of the beamtime), where, in most cases, the probed elements are highly diluted.  
FAME being a bending magnet beamline, the design of the optical elements has been done in order firstly to maximize the photons flux on the sample and secondly to optimize the beamline stability and reduce the non-statistical noise. Moreover, for an optimal acquisition of such XAS spectra, the intense X-ray beam on the sample needs to be associated with a highly sensitive detection system. Fluorescence detection is achieved with a 30-element Canberra Ge solid state detector.
