Beamline Status

Resource Status Description
Status optics and monochromator OK The beamline features a double-crystal fixed-exit monochromator for X-rays in the energy range from 6 to 17 keV. A two-stage focus design is used to control X-ray beam size and divergence at sample position. Primary horizontal focusing is achieved with sagittal bending of the second crystal of the monochromator and vertical focusing is achieved by a dynamically bendable mirror. Secondary vertical/horizontal focusing is realized with a KB system. The beam is stabilized with a real-time feedback system.
Status sample and environment OK The default focused beam size on the sample is 20 μm by 3 μm with fast beam size changing from 5 μm by 5 μm to 100 μm by 100 μm, smaller beams down to 2 μm by 1 μm are available upon request. Liquid nitrogen (100 K) or room temperature measurements possible.
Status endstations and detectors OK EIGER 16M X (133 Hz), Ketek Fluorescence detector at the end station.
Status sample changer TELL OK Sample changer in operation (30 sec sample exchange time), please refer to the TELL page.
Status analysis tools OK Automatic data processing - fast_xds & goeiger.com, XDS, MOSFLM, ccp4 suite, automatic data reduction: goeiger.com
Status operation OK User operation, see the schedule
