Beamline I15 - Extreme Conditions

Beamline I15 is dedicated to X-ray scattering experiments under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.  A high energy X-ray beamline with a wiggler source (20 – 80 keV) it is used for powder diffraction and XPDF experiments (single crystal also available on request).  Research topics include fundamental physics and chemistry, Earth and planetary science, materials science and engineering, and bio-molecular science.
