Consolidating the Micro-collimator
Consolidating the Micro-collimator 22 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Antonio Alonso The XCRHV micro-collimator was built around 40 years ago and it is currently installed in H8 beamline. Used in the "micro beam" mode, it allows for either small beam divergences or very small beam spot sizes, depending on the location of the collimator in the

Magnetic Collimators
Magnetic Collimators 20 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Dipanwita Banerjee and Naini Mandal Is it a magnet, is it a collimator… well, it’s sort of both. Serving the M2 and K12 lines, there are 10 magnetic collimators installed in the North Area beamlines, and we didn’t really know them in detail… so we tried to figure

Beam operation and challenges
Beam operation and challenges 6 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Ramon Folch 2022 was another exciting year for the beam operation of the experimental areas, with increasing challenges to satisfy our Users’ expectations, week after week. One key factor of successful operation is the fast and professional response to the unpredictable technical failures of the beamline
