Sector 3-ID is operated by the IXN group within X-ray Science Division (XSD). The beamline offers nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) techniques, including nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS) with about 1 meV energy resolution, nuclear forward scattering (NFS) and synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy (SMS). An energy-domain Mossbauer spectrometer is under development, will be implemented in the later half of 2025.
