Spectroscopy: Beamline 9-BM

 

 

The XSD Spectroscopy Group operates the bending magnet beamline 9-BM to serve the materials science, environmental science, energy storage and catalysis user communities. It provides a focused, tunable x-ray beam for XAFS (EXAFS and XANES) experiments with special capabilities for lower energy x-rays and in-situ/operando studies.
