Welcome to the Soft X-ray Spectroscopy (SXR) beamline!
View of the SXR beamline from the roof of the Storage Ring
The Soft X-ray Spectroscopy (SXR) beamline investigates the chemical and electronic structure of the surfaces of advanced materials
Our main techniques are Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) and Near Edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (NEXAFS)
Please refer to our Proposal Guidelines for latest updates on NEXAFS at the P-K and S-K absorption edges. This may affect your proposal plans for Round 1/2026.
