Proposal Submission to Beamline
How to Apply for Beamtime
Access to the BL5.2 XAS beamline is managed through the online Beamtime Application System. The process covers registration, proposal preparation, review, allocation, experiment preparation and the experiment itself.
Estimated Beam Time
| Experiment mode | XANES | EXAFS |
|---|---|---|
| Transmission | 12 – 14 min/scan, normally 2 scans | 11 – 13 min/scan, normally 2 – 3 scans |
| Fluorescence | 12 – 30 min/scan depending on settings, normally 2 scans | 12 – 30 min/scan depending on settings, normally 2 – 3 scans |
Changing the absorption edge, for example from Ti to Fe, requires approximately 60 – 90
minutes of preparation. Changing the monochromator crystal, for example from InSb(111) to
Ge(220), requires approximately 90 – 120 minutes.
