Experimental Facilities

The ID line has a First Optics Enclosure (ID-A) and three tandem experimental stations (ID-B, ID-C and ID-D) with future capability for a second high energy branch line using a beam splitter. Only one of the experimental stations can accept X-rays at a time horizontally from the main beam.

Experimental Stations

15 ID-D

Lab Facilities

ChemMatCARS maintains a well-equipped wet chemistry lab

Beamline Equipment

A number of different detectors are available for use, covering a variety of experimental techniques.
