Abstract
Design and construction of a new beamline have been described. The bea mline is housed in a specially designed area controlled for radioactiv e materials at the Photon Factory (PF) in the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK). The beamline system consists of a front-end and two branchlines. One of the branchlines is used for X-ray photoel ectron spectroscopy and radiation biology in the energy range of 1.8-6 keV and the other for X-ray diffractometry and XAFS studies as well a s radiation biology in the range of 4-20 keV. The former was particula rly equipped for the protection against accidental scattering of radio active materials both inside and outside of the vacuum system.
