Beamlines | B16 - Applications

Providing additional experimental facilities

While Diamond beamlines are being developed and constructed, the Test beamline will allow a variety of experiments not catered for on other beamlines to be performed. For example, the Test beamline could be used for reflectivity measurements (in focused mode), powder diffraction (in white beam or monochromatic focused mode), strain scanning experiments at high X-ray energy (monochromatic or white beam), surface diffraction experiments, topography (white beam or monochromatic beam), imaging experiments such as coherent imaging, diffraction enhanced imaging, X-rays standing wave experiments. The easy tunability of the energy on the station will make the station ideal for performing resonant diffraction experiments such as Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure (DAFS) and anomalous scattering experiments.
