The Spectroscopy Village at Diamond Light Source. (12th June 2018) - Diaz-Moreno, Sofia
Abstract : The current status and technical details of the four instruments dedicated to X‐ray spectroscopy available at Diamond Light Source are presented. Abstract : This manuscript presents the current status and technical details of the Spectroscopy Village at Diamond Light Source. The Village is formed of four beamlines: I18, B18, I20‐Scanning and I20‐EDE. The village provides the UK community with local access to a hard X‐ray microprobe, a quick‐scanning multi‐purpose XAS beamline, a high‐intensity beamline for X‐ray absorption spectroscopy of dilute samples and X‐ray emission spectroscopy, and an energy‐dispersive extended X‐ray absorption fine‐structure beamline. The optics of B18, I20‐scanning and I20‐EDE are detailed; moreover, recent developments on the four beamlines, including new detector hardware and changes in acquisition software, are described.
