Scientific Goal
More
The X-ray Test beamline is the beamlines built in the second phase project of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). This is a beamline specifically designed for testing new developments in optics and detector technology and for trialling new experimental techniques. The beamline operates in the 4-30 keV photon energy range and has flexible and versatile beam modes, which can provide unfocused white beam, collimated white beam, unfocused monochromatic beam, focused white beam, and focused monochromatic beam.
