Description
6-ID-D is a high-energy branch line on sector 6. It runs in psuedo-independently mode using the beam transmitted through the monochromator of the lower energy beamline. It is primarily used for condensed matter physics studies of single-crystals using a psi diffractometer and 2-D detectors, but also accommodates a variety of general diffraction measurements utilizing high energy x-rays.
