The XAS beamline employs hard X-rays , spanning across the range 6.5 - 31 keV (“Mn to Sb”). Please see the XAS page on the Australian Synchrotron website here for more details on the XAS photon delivery system. The energy range is accessed via three ‘beamline modes’ covering the low (6.5-9 keV aka Mode 1), medium (9-19 keV aka Mode 2), and high (15-31 keV aka Mode 3) energies. Note that in order to setup optimise a beamline mode, or to switch between modes, approximately one day of user downtime is required. Therefore, all Mode 1 experiments are scheduled back-to-back, followed by all Mode 2 experiments, then and all of Mode 3.

If users would like to analyse edges in different energy beamline modes, they MUST submit a separate proposal for each mode. We recommend that separate such proposals have the same content but different sample tables, and be designated ‘Part 1,' ‘Part 2,' etc, in their proposal title. |
