The main goal of the interdisciplinary and multipurpose Spanish BM25 CRG X-ray beamline SpLine is to satisfy the needs on the use of synchrotron radiation, in the region of the hard X-ray, of the Spanish Scientific Community. The beamline covers a broad range of interests crossing very different research areas: physics, chemistry, material sciences, geology, mineralogy, biology, environmental sciences, and culturage heritage. In this sense, the Spanish CRG beamline contributes to increase long term research projects using SR and provides competitive facilities to the Spanish Scientific Community interested in the use of hard X-ray radiation. By using the advantages of a wide Front End (9 mrad), SpLine is split in two braches covering a wide energy range: 5 - 45 keV. Both branches are fully equipped with its focusing optics and experimental stations.
Each branch has allocated two experimental stations with similar technical constraints and use 2 mrad of the available radiation fan. Branch A is allocated on the soft edge (critical energy of 9.6 keV) and branch B on the hard edge (critical energy of 20.6 keV).
The experimental stations installed in branch A enables the performance of X-Ray absorption Spectroscopy and High Resolution Powder Diffraction measurements. While in Branch B are allocate facilities for Surface X-Ray Diffraction and Hard X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy measurements.
