What are the benefits of synchrotron radiation with our setup?
Our high-energy X-ray setup is particularly well-suited for diffraction and scattering measurements due to:
- High Q-range coverage (up to ~30 Å-1), providing excellent real-space resolution
- Low background due to high beam collimation and effective shielding
- High signal-to-noise ratio due to high flux, high detection efficiency, and no dark current noise
- Symmetric instrumental peak shape, e.g., no axial divergence due to use of 2D area detector
- Minimal absorption effects due to high-energy X-rays
- Excellent reproducibility for comparative studies
