BL-10C: Small-angle X-ray scattering
BL-10C is dedicated for small-angle X-ray scattering. This beamline has been used over 30 years, and a lot of scientific works have been published by user groups. BL-10C was scrapped and rebuilt in March of 2014. All the optical and experimental components were replaced to new ones. Although the measurement energy had been fixed in BL-10C because of the problem of the monochromator, the installation of new fixed-exit double-crystal monochromator enabled change of the energy from 6.5 to 14 keV. PILATUS3 2M and 200K (Dectris) were also newly installed for the SAXS and WAXD detector, respectively. Therefore, the simultaneous SAXS(GISAXS)/WAXD measurement is now available.
