Beamline Upgrades
Jan. 3, 2025
The Brockhouse low energy wiggler beamline (SOE1) has completed an upgrade to its high resolution powder diffraction station. The Huber end-station now uses 8 Mythen detectors instead of 1, reducing data collection time to a few minutes. We have also installed a robot to automatically change through samples, greatly increasing our throughput.
