Welcome to 12-BM

12-BM is a multi-purpose beamline for spectroscopy (XAS), Small Angle Scattering (SAXS) and Wide Angle Scattering (WAXS).  Currently Quick EXAFS is being tested and currently is scheduled to be implemented spring 2021.  The beamline is designed to provide a versatile platform to cover a wide range of experimental needs; XAS, SAXS and WAXS or even a combination of techniques on the samples under different experimental conditions (heating, cooling, in situ catalytic reaction conditions). In order to achieve an easily adjustable wavelength between 4.5 and 40 keV, the beamline uses a water-cooled, double-crystal, fixed-exit monochromator with Si(111) and Si(311) crystals. A double mirror system (flat and toroidal) focuses the beam in the experimental station to 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm.
