Description

This presentation is devoted to the description of a state-of-the-art synchrotron beamline fully optimised for monochromatic X-ray diffraction at high pressure and high (or low) temperature. This beamline exhibits outstanding performance in terms of photon flux and focusing capabilities at high X-ray energies. The main components of this instrument will be described in some details. In particular, the choices in terms of X-ray source, X-ray optics, detectors and sample environment will be discussed.
