The XAS beamline employs hard X-rays across the range 6.3 - 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 low (6.3-9 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 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, and all of Mode 3.
