Equipment on ID01

ID1 beamline is mainly dedicated to diffuse scattering experiments near an element’s absorption edge using small and/or wide-angle techniques (SAXS and/or WAXS). It is designed to achieve the following:

• a combination of SAXS and WAXS experiments on a single experimental stage; these experiments can be performed in parallel if   necessary;
  
• a large tunable energy-range i.e. 2.1 keV < E < 35 keV with an extension up to 42 keV at the expense of flux;
  
• a very good energy resolution (i.e. E/E < 10^-4) to scan an element's absorption edge;
  
• a high rate of harmonic rejection (<10^-4) due to the use of two mirrors;
  
• a low background reached by a complete vacuum environment (p = 5 x 10^-3 Torr) and windowless operation.
• a beam size at sample of 100 x 100 microns (6 - 16 KeV energy range) with a photon flux of 10¹³ photos/sec. in the focused beam.
