ABSTRACT

  The BL12B2 beamline is part of the Taiwan X-ray facilities at SPring-8. It is designed to provide atomic-resolution structural probing environment for biostructure and materials researches. Combining various configurations of the beamline optical components, the users can operate the beamline in either white mode, or monochromatic mode with X-ray energies from 5 to 70 keV and an energy resolution ΔE/E ∼ 10^-4. Four experimental stations are attached to the beamline, including X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), powder X-ray diffraction (PXD), X-ray scattering (XRS) and protein crystallography (PX).

SOURCE AND OPTICS

  The beamline optical design follows mostly the generic SPring-8 BM beamlines design (Fig.1). The beamline optics consists of three major components: (1) a dual-strip (Rh + Si) collimating mirror (CM) for beam collimation, higher harmonic suppression and thermal load reduction, (2) the standard SPring-8 adjustable-inclined double crystal monochromator (DCM) for photon energy selection in the energy range 5 keV to 70 keV, (3) a toroidal Rh-coated to focus focusing mirror (FM) focusing beam at PX sample position. The beam spot is measurement 250 µm × 250 µm, at PX sample position, with 2 × 10¹¹ photons/sec/Si (111) at 12.4 keV.
  The beamline can be operated in one of the three operational modes (Fig.2):

1. white beam mode
2. monochromatic beam in high energy range (25 < E < 70 keV) with high energy resolution (ΔE/E ∼ 10^-4)
3. monochromatic beam in medium energy range (5 < E < 25 keV) with high energy resolution (ΔE/E ∼ 10^-4)

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS

  There are four experimental stations attached to the beamline, namely, the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), the powder X-ray diffraction (PXD), the X-ray scattering (XRS) and the protein crystallography (PX). The constructions of the stations were in sequence completed in February 2001 (for XAS, PXD and XRS) and in September 2002 ( for PX ). Figure shows the end stations at BL12B2
