XRD2
Welcome to XRD2 @ Elettra.
XRD2 is one of the newest beamline constructed at Elettra. It is located at section 11.2 and has been accepting proposals since 2018. The high photon flux provided by the Super Conducting multipole Wiggler (SCW), allows the operation of three beamlines, a central tunable (XRD2) and two fixed energy beamlines (Xpress, TBD). |
