Conceptual Design of the Small Angle Scattering Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron.

A high performance small angle and wide angle x-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) beamline is one of the initial suite of beamlines to be built at the 3 GeV Australian Synchrotron. This beamline will be ready for use in 2008, for structural analysis across a wide range of research applications over length scales of ∼ 1 to greater than 5000 Å. The instrument is intended for advanced analysis capabilities only possible using synchrotron radiation, such as time, space and energy resolved analysis, and for weak scattering systems. Photon energies will be readily variable between 5.2 and 20 keV. © 2007 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
