Overview
1.3 Tesla Bend Magnet, 1.4 mrad Acceptance End-Station
Beam line 1-5 is a bend magnet end station with a programmatic split between small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS), as well as simultaneous SAXS/WAXS. BL1-5 is equipped with two area detectors: Dectris Pilatus 1M (SAXS) and Dectris Pilatus 100K (WAXS). The beamline is available in two standard configurations: 1- and 3-meter sample to SAXS detector distances. The WAXS detector is typically capable of reaching a minimum q value of 1.2 Å-1 for either of the configurations. The beam line accommodates x-ray energies in the range of 8-16 keV. There are several sample environments available including capillary cells, heated transmission stages, and a grazing incidence thin film holder.
Sample Environment —
| Standard | 6 sample transmission stage (heating to 150 ºC) |
|---|---|
| Single capillary holder (heating to 300 °C) | |
| 20 capillary holder (near room temperature heating and cooling) | |
| Transmission thin film holder (no heating) | |
| Grazing incidence thin film holder (no heating) | |
| Custom | The motorized sample stages utilize standard X48 rail carriers to accomodate user-supplied sample holders. Please contact staff if you require a custom sample holder for your experiment. |
