APS Small
Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) Beam Lines
Eleven different small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) beam lines are accessible
to the APS general user (overview). The combined capabilities of these beam lines span a
broad range of reciprocal space and X-ray photon energy allowing for investigations
from many disciplines of science including biology, materials science, environmental
science, chemistry, medicine, and physics. Coupled with a high data throughput
and fast time-resolved measurement capabilities, these instruments enable an
efficient use of the high intensity and high brilliance APS X-ray source. Some
of the beam lines have provided examples of their
data.
