A dedicated new SAXS/WAXS beamline is being constructed at the Australian Synchrotron, a 216m circumference, 3GeV, ring located in Melbourne. The beamline consists of an in-vacuum undulator source, optics optimized for performance and flexibility, and an endstation designed to exploit all the capabilities of the beamline. The beamline will support transmission and grazing incidence SAXS and WAXS, either separately or simultaneously. The beamline has the capacity to analyze liquid surfaces, and has the flexibility to readily implement other scattering techniques such as reflectometry and in-plane diffraction in the future.
Pilatus detectors, developed by the SLS, will be the main systems for both SAXS and WAXS analysis. These new detectors will provide vastly improved dynamic range over conventional area detectors, are ideal for analyzing very weak scatterers such as dilute protein solutions, have very fast time resolution for dynamical studies, and will support anomalous scattering analysis.
This presentation will outline some interesting points in the design and development of this new facility, describe its capabilities, and present some examples of applications that explore some of its possibilities. It will also include a discussion on our new steel experiment hutches which have been designed and built locally.
