XAFS at the Canadian Light Source

Abstract

Canadian Light Source Hard X‐ray Micro‐Analysis Beamline (HXMA, 06ID‐1) is a hard X‐ray spectroscopy beamline currently under commissioning. The source of the beamline is a superconducting wiggler covering 5 to 40 keV. The primary optics include a cryogenically cooled double crystal monochromator (Si 111 and 220), white beam vertical collimating and toroidal focusing mirrors. End station experimental capabilities include XAFS (Ge solid state detectors), microprobe (Kirkpatrick‐Baez murors, Ge solid state detector and image plate area detector), and diffraction (Huber psi‐8 and powder diffraction setups, with diamond anvil cell high pressure sample environment). Commissioning status for the XAFS capabilities is described.
