Overview
The Brockhouse Sector consists of 3 hard X-ray beamlines dedicated to diffraction and scattering techniques.
We have an in-vacuum wiggler and an in-vacuum undulator in the sector 4 straight section of the 2.9 GeV Canadian Light Source. This wiggler is the source for two beamlines,
while the undulator feeds one beamline,
