Synopsis
ID26 is dedicated to X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy in the applied sciences. The high-brilliance X-ray beam allows for absorption studies on very dilute samples. X-ray emission spectroscopy is performed by means of a crystal spectrometer.

Technical details
Specifically, the beamline offers high energy resolution fluorescence detected (HERFD) XAS, range-extended EXAFS, (non-)resonant XES, and resonant IXS. The resolving power (solid angle) of the spectrometer can be varied between 2500 (0.15sr) and 20000 (0.01sr) by adjusting the analyzer crystal bending radius. The detection limit may be below a monolayer (0.1 mM, 1 ppm) for XANES studies. Various furnaces, cryostats and in-situ cells from the ESRF sample environment pool can be mounted.
