BM25-SpLine incorporates high technology equipment for the realization of materials science experiments, especially in the area of X-ray scattering and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The experimental stations installed in this infrastructure and the available sample environment have been designed at SpLine in order to fulfil the scientific requirements of the users. The complete facility offers unique possibilities due its wide flexibility in terms of beam characteristics (easy photon energy tuning and variable beam size), sample environment (wide temperature range, wide pressure range, many chambers and cells, large free space for user set-ups) and available detectors (point detectors for high resolution, medium size 2D pixel detectors for high data throughput, small 2D pixel detector for variable resolution, polarization analysis detector, single solid state fluorescence detector, and High Voltage electrostatic analyzer up to 15kV).

The beamline has two experimental hutches:

The experimental hutch 1 (EH1) hosts a Single Crystal Diffraction end-station.

The experimental hutch 2 (EH2) hosts two independent experimental end-stations dedicated to i)  Multipurpose X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) in combination with Near Edge X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XANES); and ii) Surface X-Ray Diffraction and Hard X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (SXRD+HAXPES)

The beamline has an optical hutch with state-of-the art optical elements that provides a focused  beam at the three experimental end-stations. The main parameters of the optics are:
