Beamline 15-2 is an undulator experimental station dedicated to advanced hard x-ray spectroscopy. The end station is equipped with sub-corehole lifetime resolution x-ray emission spectrometers (a 7-crystal Johann spectrometer and a 8 crystal von Hamos instrument) as well as a high-throughput and high energy resolution (0.3eV) 40-crystal low-q x-ray Raman spectrometer.
Beam line 14-3a, located on the upstream table of the hutch of the BL14-3 bending magnet side station, is dedicated to bulk x-ray absorption spectroscopy of biological, materials, and geological samples in the tender x-ray photon energy range 2.1-5.0 keV. BL14-3 is the only beam line at SSRL capable of obtaining spectroscopy data at the phosphorous K edge. In this configuration the beam is unfocused over a size of 1 mm x 6 mm to allow for high energy-resolution measurements on homogenous samples.

Beam line 11-2 is a high-flux XAS station dedicated to molecular biogeochemical and interface sciences. It is optimized for challenging XAS measurements on dilute or radioactive samples and interfaces. To support these experiments, BL11-2 is equipped with collimating and focusing optics, a "double double" Si(220) LN2-cooled monochromator, and a 100-pixel monolithic solid state Ge detector array.
Beam line currently closed for upgrade.
Beam line 10-2 is a wiggler-based source that splits time between the front hutch (BL10-2a), instrumented for wide-angle X-ray scattering, and the rear hutch (BL10-2b), instrumented for X-ray spectroscopy with a focus on in-situ, time-resolved catalyst characterization.
Beam line 6-2c is a wiggler end-station dedicated to hard x-ray transmission x-ray microscopy. The BL6-2c back hutch houses a Transmission X-ray Microscope with 2D and 3D full field imaging and spectroscopic capabilities, with an instrument resolution down to 30 nm. It has specific capabilities for in-situ tomographic studies of catalytic processes including x-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Beam line 6-2b is a wiggler end-station dedicated to High Resolution Hard X-ray Spectroscopy. The end station combines three multicrystal Johann spectrometers that enable X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES), Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS), High-Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detected X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (HERFD-XAS) and X-ray Raman Spectroscopy (XRS) techniques.
Beam line 6-2a is a wiggler end-station that can be configured for tender x-ray x-ray emission spectroscopy (instrumentation in commissioning use).
Beam line 2-2 is currently closed.
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.
