BL2-2

    Overview

    Beam line 2-2 is a bending magnet experimental station setup for general x-ray absorption spectroscopy in the 4.5 keV to 37 keV range. This beam line features a QEXAFS capable water cooled double-crystal monochromator. Si(111) or Si(220) crystal sets can be installed. White beam experiments are possible. On-the-fly scanning modes are available to shorten acquisition time and enable time resolved studies. In addition, this beam line is equipped with a comprehensive suite of hardware and software tools that support R&D in beam line automation.
