Soft X-ray Microcharacterization Beamline

Overview

All endstations are accepting proposals for energies between 1.7-10 keV. The endstations are the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) endstation (in vacuum and under ambient conditions), the high Energy X-ray photoemission Spectroscopy (HEXPS) endstation and the microprobe. 

Please discuss details of your proposal with the beamline scientist prior to submitting your proposal.
