Materials Small-angle X-ray Scattering

The beamline 17-2 end-station is currently under construction. This beamline will support simultaneous SAXS/WAXS, XRD, and optical pump x-ray probe measurements. The scientific focus is targeted to take advantage of the high brightness anticipated from the micro-focused beam, with an emphasis on in-situ experiments with demanding time resolution. The beamline will have multiple detectors available and configurable by the beamline staff including a suite of area detectors including an Eiger 1M, Eiger 2 500k, and Eiger 4M.

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.
