Technical concept of the materials science beamline at ALBA

摘要

The general layout and optical system of the Materials Science and Powder Diffraction Beamline MSPD at the new Spanish Synchrotron source ALBA is described. The beamline will host one end station for high resolution powder diffraction and a second one for high pressure powder diffraction in a shared experimental hutch. The available energy range is between 8 - 50keV. Since the actual light source is a superconducting wiggler with high total power radiated, heat load effects on the optical system have to be considered. FEA calculations addressing this issue are presented.
