SMALL-ANGLE X-RAY-SCATTERING AT THE EUROPEAN SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION FACILITY

The status of small-angle scattering at the European Synchrotron Radia tion Facility is reviewed. At the present stage three beamlines are fo reseen. The high brilliance beamline will be used for time-resolved an d ultralow-Q experiments. The anomalous dispersion beamline will serve principally the materials science community and allow edge studies fr om almost-equal-to 2keV up to almost-equal-to 35 keV. The microfocus b eamline is actually in the commissioning phase. SAXS experiments have started on a classical mirror/monochromator camera. The presently reac hed beam size at the sample is almost-equal-to 100250 mum2. Bragg-Fre snel focusing has been used to test a SAXS-camera with a almost-equal- to 22 mum2 spot.
