Experimental Hutch 1 and sample preparation area
| Schedule | Experiments Available/ Equipment or Component | Comments / Aims |
|---|---|---|
|
March 2010 | Experimental Hutch 1 Available Versatile diffractometer for wide range of sample environemnts and GIXD, GISAXS and XRR. | Any measurements subject to technical feasibility |
| From Jan 2011 onwards | Commissioning of the Double Crystal Deflector (DCD) is now underway with several experiments already scheduled over the next few months. This equipment allows XRR experiments from liquid surfaces. Depending on commissioning progress, this equipment may still be in its optimisation period during AP10 with some restrictions on, for example, the accessible energies. | Fully available in AP10 subject to successful commissioning |
|
Summer 2011 | A purpose built GISAXS flight tube will be installed and commissioned. This will allow relatively quick changes between use of the large pilatus 2M detector for GISAXS measurements and the diffractometer for GIXD and XRR. | Use of this or alternative GISAXS flight tubes should be discussed with the beamline team in advance of any application. |
