I12 Beamline

The I12 beamline is divided into two parts, with an internal building and an external building.

Internal Building

The internal building hosts the following hutches:

• Optics hutch 1 (OH1)
• Side station 1 (SS1)
• Optics hutch 2 (OH2)
• Experimental hutch 1 (OH1)
• Control cabin 1 (CC1) for control of the internal beamline
• User room (UR) to provide additional space for users and beamline staff using CC1

External Building

The external building comprises of:

• Optics hutch 3 (OH3)
• Experimental hutch 2 (EH2)
• Control cabin 2 (CC2) for control of the external beamline
• Data aquisition room
• Strong room for storage of valuable items

These pictures show an artist’s impression of the I12 External Building. The building has a loading bay area with access from the synchrotron building peripheral road. This permits delivery of large samples and experimental equipment directly to the second experimental hutch inside the building. Construction work started in January 2008 and is now well underway.
