Welcome to XRD2 @ Elettra.
X-rays are an invaluable probe of the structure of matter, and the range of problems where X-rays have proved to be decisive in unravelling a material structure is very wide. XRD2 is the new beamline that has been constructed at section 11.2 and is now operational and accepting proposals. The high photon flux provided by the Super Conducting multipole Wiggler (SCW), installed at the 11.2 section, permits the operation of three beamlines, a central tunable and two fixed energy beamlines (Xpress). |
Research Highlights![]() Studenti @ XRD2 - 2019Un gruppo di studenti della laurea magistrale in Chimica dell’Università di Parma, sotto la guida del visiting professor prof. Pietro Roversi, ha cristallizzato e ottenuto la struttura di una nuova forma cristallina della proteina PCNA umana. L'esperimento di diffrazione è stato effettuato durante uno stage presso XRD2. ![]() Inhibition of PD-1/PD-L1 protein-protein interaction

Get beamtime! - Monthly MX Proposals
A FAST allocation mechanism – dedicated to Macromolecular Crystallography experiments – is available from your VUO account!
- No deadline: it is possible to submit a proposal at any time;
We strongly encourage MX users to take advantage of this new procedure. |
Proposal Submission - Other cases
It is possible to apply on a six-month basis only if the MX experiment requires a particular setup or if extended time is required for bureaucratic purposes (such as visa applications). For no perishable samples and/or custom setups, the standard six-month based procedure should be followed: deadlines for this submission are September 16th, (proposals allocated from January 1st to June 30th), and March 15th (proposals allocated in the period July 1st to December 31th).
