6-ID-B,C: Resonant and Magnetic Scattering

XSD
Materials Science, Physics

6-ID-B,C is the main branch beamline on sector 6. Its primary focus is on magnetic x-ray scattering and general diffraction experiments using a Huber ψ-diffractometer located in the B experimental station. The C station is equipped with a second diffractometer for scattering in applied magnetic fields (4 Tesla continuous; up to 30 Tesla pulsed).
