Welcome to the Powder Diffraction Beamline!
🗞 News 🗞
🌟 Mythen-II issues ➡ Currently experiencing issues with our main detector losing communication. Suspect its an end-of-life issue and are investigating the use of our 2D detector for experiments. 🌟 Purchase of a gas system and mass spectrometer ➡ The gas system is a Hiden XCS system that can produce gas mixtures and generate a flow of gas at a specified flow rate. The mass spectrometer is a Hiden QGA. Both are available for user experiments. |
