Beamline 15-ID-B,C,D: Sector 15 - Insertion Device Beamline

Description

Beamline 15-ID has three experimental stations dedicated to static and dynamic condensed matter chemistry and materials science. The stations accommodate advanced small molecule diffraction, air/liquid and liquid/liquid interfacial scattering, and ultra-small angle x-ray scattering (USAXS).

Supported Techniques

• Single-crystal diffraction
• Anomalous and resonant scattering (hard x-ray)
• Wide-angle x-ray scattering
• Microdiffraction
• Liquid Surface Diffraction
• Small-angle x-ray scattering
• Ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering
• High-pressure diamond anvil cell

Beamline Controls and Data Acquisition

EPICS, SPEC, and APEXII in addition to IDL, Windows XP, Solaris, and Linux OS with tools such as MEDM and VME-and NIM-based electronics.
