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).
Because BL5-2 and BL5-4 cannot operate simultaneously, they are often shown combined as BL5-4/BL5-2. Users may choose either experimental station for their beamtime. Please confirm with the responsible beam line scientists on the readiness of desired experimental station in advance.

Beam line 2-3 is a bending magnet side station dedicated to x-ray imaging and micro x-ray absorption spectroscopy (edge, EXAFS) as well as micro diffraction of biological, material, and geological samples. A set of SIGRAY axially symmetric mirror systems are used to achieve a microfocus with an option of a beam size of ~ 3 x 3 microns, or sub-micron spots. The energy range of the beam line optics covers 4.9-23 keV, with detection of fluorescent x-rays as low as Si. BL2-3 is equipped with a Vortex silicon drift detector and ionization chambers.
Beam line 2-2 is currently closed.
Beam line 2-1 is a dedicated thin film/powder diffraction and reflectivity station. It is equipped with a Huber 2-circle goniometer and a high-resolution crystal-analyzer detector. There are several different types of sample stages to cater to a broad user-base including a motorized xyz stage, a capillary spinner, a "wet" liquid sample stage, and an Anton-Paar furnace (25-900 ºC). Data acquisition is performed using SPEC, with SPECPlot GUI interface (in-house diffractometer control, peak fitting and plotting software).
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.
Beam line 4-3 is a wiggler side-station dedicated for x-ray absorption spectroscopy and EXAFS measurements on biological, environmental, catalysis, and materials systems. This station enables tender x-ray measurement (S K-edge and up, i.e. 2.4-5 keV) in addition to hard x-rays ( up to 11 keV). It is setup with a He flight path from the beam line optics to the sample. The beam is collimated and unfocused to allow for high energy-resolution measurements on homogenous samples.
