Brockhouse - In-Vacuum Undulator Beamline
Overview
The In-Vacuum Undulator (IVU) Beamline at the Brockhouse Diffraction Sector operates in the 5–24 keV range, offering high photon flux and energy resolution for precise structural studies. Additionally, the beamline serves as a complementary beamline to the WLE and WHE beamlines. The beamline is equipped with an interchangeable configuration of double multilayer monochromator (DMM) and the combination of DMM and the channel cut monochromator (CCM). This setup allows for customizable beam features where generally high flux is generated through DMM and high resolution is generated with the addition of the CCM. The table below describes the beam details of the DMM configuration. The undulator beamline is equipped with two endstations that supports the following techniques:
- PXRD
- Reciprocal space maps
- Reflectivity
- Anomalous XRD
- Magnetic XRD
- GI-XRD
- High pressure
- In-situ experiments (cryostat, furnace, batteries,…)
- SAXS / WAXS
- miniXES

6-circle Huber diffractometer
The 6-circle Huber diffractometer consists of 6 rotating motors to provide higher degrees of freedom specimens orientations. This allows for high precision diffraction experiments. The following techniques are supported by this endstation:
- PXRD
- Reciprocal space maps
- Reflectivity
- Anomalous XRD
- Magnetic XRD
- GI-XRD
- In-situ experiments (cryostat, furnace, batteries, etc)
- SAXS
Optical Table
The optical table endstation is equipped with beam focusing components including slits, ion chambers, filters and a vacuum tube. These components move vertically and horizontally to follow the beam when the incident angles changes. The following techniques are supported at this endstation:
- GI-XRD
- High Pressure Diffraction
- In-situ experiments (cryostat, furnace, batteries, etc)
- SAXS/WAXS
