Beamlines, Overview

SLS Layout
SLS layout (schematic)



Depending on the type of radiation source, there are two types of beamlines (insertion-device and bending-magnet). In the layout they are indicated as open boxes and black dots, respectively.
  1. Insertion device beamlines

    The highest brightness at a beamline can be reached by means of insertion devices
    ( Undulators, marked with U and Wigglers, marked with W). The number behind the letter for the device is the period length in mm.
    The letter E in the name of an undulator means "elliptical polarization"is possible.

    Currently, the following SLS ID beamlines are in operation:

    X09LA XIL X-ray Interference Lithography (branch of SIS) 9LUE212 (twins)

    X11MA SIM Surfaces / Interfaces Microscopy11MUE56 (twins)
    X12SA cSAXS Coherent Small-Angle X-ray Scattering12S U19


  2. Bending magnet beamlines

    This type of beamline uses the radiation which is coming from the central bending magnet of a triple bend achromat.
    8 of those 12 central bends are equipped with 2 exit ports each (type A from the middle and type B from the entrance of a bend).
    The maximum potential for such beamlines is thus 2 * 8 = 16 bending magnet beamlines.

    Currently, the following SLS bending magnet beamlines are in operation or commissioning:

    X02DA TOMCAT Tomography 2DSuperbend
    X04DB VUV VUV Spectroscopy (commissioning) 4DBending magnet
    X06DA PXIII Protein crystallography 6DSuperbend
    X07DA PolLux Scanning Transmission X-Ray Microspectroscopy 7DBending magnet
    X10DA SuperXAS Environmental / Materials Sciences 10DSuperbend
