Beamline ID27—also referred to as EBSL5 project—is a high-flux nano-X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction station dedicated to research at extreme pressures and temperatures. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray imaging (XRI) techniques using a nano-focused beam can be employed at this beamline for experiments at extreme conditions.
The beamline offers a wide range of focusing options between nano- and microfocus for a monochromatic and pink beam, the energy is tunable from 15 to 60 keV in both beam modes.
Dedicated sample stages for nano-focus, micro-focus (laser heating) and heavy duty experiments are permanently set up and can be exchanged via motorized movements of supporting granites.
The EIGER2 X CdTe 9M detector together with the beam of the EBS source offers an unrivalled dynamic range in these experiments.
The beamline is currently being upgraded and has moved to a new hutch in the Chartreuse hall at 110 m distance.
