XAFS and Protein Crystallography Beamline BL38B1 at SPring‐8

The SPring‐8 bending magnet beamline BL38B1 is designed for R&D of optics, detectors, experiments for XAFS and protein X‐ray crystallography (PX). This beamline has a multi‐purpose hutch for two experimental stations of XAFS and PX, and removable optical benches used for R&D of detectors and instruments. The design and the performance of the beamline are presented.
