BM26A
Synopsis
This beamline is specialised in X-ray spectroscopy in the energy range 4-32 keV. Time-resolved experiments and combinations with SAXS and WAXS are routinely carried out. There is appropriate infrastructure for on-line catalysis experiments.

Technical details
BM26A is specialised in catalysis but also performs many other types of research. For the use of the catalysis infrastructure one should consult the staff before applying for beamtime.[1] M.
