Beamline I911-4 - Short information

To beamline homepage

I911-4 is one out of five experiment stations at beamline I911. Presently a SAXS test set-up is commissioned at the station. The I911-4 station is a fixed wavelength station (wavelength = 0.91 Å). The beam is first monochromatized and horizontally focused by a bent silicon crystal working in Bragg geometry and then focused in the vertical by a 400 mm, curved multi-layer mirror. The high-flux photon beam is produced by a super-conducting multi-pole wiggler.
