ALBA Synchrotron
The Materials Science and Powder Diffraction Beamline (MSPD) has two endstations: one for high angular resolution powder diffraction and another for for high pressure powder diffraction using diamond anvil cells and micro powder diffraction at high energy.
The beamline operates between 8 and 50 keV. This range adequately covers the desirable energy for almost any kind of powder diffraction experiments in transmission geometry. The high energy part makes posible total scattering experiments and high pressure diffraction using Diamond Anvil Cells. The easily tunable energy allows selecting adequate conditions for powder diffraction in transmission geometry: optimize absorption, avoid absorption edges.
