Layout

The ID15 straight section houses two canted branches. This page is dedicated to the ID15A branch, which houses the materials chemistry (EH3) and materials engineering (EH2) facilities. The ID15B branch houses a high pressure beam line (EH1), which operates independently of ID15A and has its own webpage. The overall layout is shown here:

 

X-ray source

The primary insertion device is a CPMU18 undulator, which provides brilliant x-rays in the range 20 -140 keV for materials chemistry applications in EH3. A comparison of the performance of the ID15A sources before and after the upgrade is shown below, illustrating the significant flux increase, particularly at high energy.
