VESPERS:
Very sensitive Elemental and Structural Probe Employing Radiation from a Synchrotron
VESPERS is a hard X-ray microprobe beamline capable of providing a high level of complementary structural and analytical information. The techniques of X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy are employed to analyze a microscopic volume in the sample, as well as X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Multi-bandpass and pink beam capability are built in to meet various requirements. A mm-sized beam is also available for the experiments.
* Cycle 38 (July-Dec 2023): Allocation and schedule available via User Portal.
* Cycle 39/40 (Jan-Dec 2024): Beamtime allocated; Scheduling in progress.
