Beamline 1-ID-B,C,E: High-energy X-ray Scattering

Description

1-ID is a dedicated high-energy x-ray scattering beamline operating in the 50-130 keV range. The x-ray optics are optimized for high-energy x-ray usage and high-energy resolution, and several focusing modes are available. Supported high-energy techniques include macroscopic stress/texture determination, three-dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy, pair-distribution function measurements, powder diffraction, and small-angle scattering. Support for various in-situ environments available including thermo-mechanical deformation.

Supported Techniques

• High-energy x-ray diffraction
• Radiography
• Small-angle x-ray scattering
• Fluorescence spectroscopy
• Pair distribution function

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

The beamline is run by Linux workstations and VME-based electronics. The VME-based equipment is controlled by EPICS. There are several software clients that use EPICS including MEDM and SPEC. Other computers, such as PCs, are used to run specialized pieces of equipment (e.g., area detectors).

Detectors

• NaI scintillation
• Ionization chambers
• Ge & Si solid state detectors
• On-line image plate reader
• CCD cameras
• GE amorphous Si area detectors (through Detector Pool)

Additional Equipment

• 6-circle diffractometer
• Optical tables
• Various motorized stages
• MTS servo-hydraulic fatigue device
• Infrared furnace (1200 C)
