Details of the thirty-one public ESRF beamlines are given in Table 9. Three of these beamlines possess two end-stations, so there are thirty-four end-stations in total, which can be run independently. An additional sixteen beamline branches, situated on bending magnets, are devoted to Collaborating Research Groups (CRG).

Table 9: List of the ESRF public beamlines in operation and under construction.

Figure 168 shows the location of the beamlines in the experimental hall; a list of the CRG beamlines is presented in Table 10.

The Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) initiated the construction of a new beamline complex at ID23. The first (multi-wavelength) branch has been operational since June 2004, the second (single wavelength microfocus) branch has been operational since October 2005.

The High Pressure beamline has been moved from ID30 to a new location, ID27, that was previously used for an industrial beamline. The refurbished High Pressure beamline has been operational since February 2005.
