Synchrotron Radiation Facilities
ASTRID
Currently there are eight operational SR beamlines on ASTRID. The characteristics of these beamlines are summarised in the table below and their location shown in the schematic drawing. Please follow the links in the table for further information and descriptions of the individual beamlines.
A grant has been recently awarded to build a dedicated third generation SR light source ASTRID2. Some of the monochromators in the table below will be transferred to ASTRID2.
