Beamline 5-ID-B,C,D: Sector 5 - Insertion Device Beamline

Description

The 5-ID beamline contains three end stations for use by general users.  

 The 5-ID-B station contains a custom 11-detector powder camera formerly stationed at COM-CAT, 32-ID. This system has 11 Si(111) analyzer crystals and operates at an energy of ~ 17.5 keV for high-resolution powder diffraction measurements. The system has a six-position sample changer for capillaries.  

 The 5-ID-C station has two instruments, a kappa diffractometer for in-air or small sample environment cells, and a UHV chamber with MBE and other capabilities. This station has post-monochromator optics for beam conditioning primarily for x-ray standing wave measurements. The UHV system and the post-monochromator optics are only available to general users in a collaborative mode.  

 The 5-ID-D station contains a pinhole small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) camera with a maximum sample-to-detector distance of approximately 10 m. Multiple samples can be loaded onto sample wheels and placed inside the vacuum system to produce ultra-low-background SAXS patterns. Simultaneous small- and wide-angle diffraction (SAXS/WAXS) with custom Roper CCD detectors is available on 5-ID-D, including an optional in-vacuum flow cell for solution SAXS/WAXS.
