Dear all, We would like to draw your attention that the deadline for SOLEIL's (and French ESRF-CRG) next call for proposal is approaching: September 15th, 2014 – 23:59 (French time).
Four beamlines relevant for the MX community are accessible through the SUNSET online proposal system (http://sunset.synchrotron-soleil.fr/sun): PROXIMA1, PROXIMA2, FIP and SWING. MX PROXIMA 1 Beamline (SOLEIL): - Undulator beamline with flux of 1.4x10^12 photons/sec at 9 keV. - Energy range: 5.8 to 16 keV (2.14 - 0.71 Å) - Typical beam size: 45x25 microns - Multi-axis Kappa gonimeter - Detector: PILATUS 6M pixel array, 25 Hz frame rate. - Sample changer: CATS robot with unipuck standard - mxCuBE v2 acquisition software - Well suited for large complexes. http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/Recherche/LignesLumiere/PROXIMA1 MX PROXIMA 2 Beamline (SOLEIL): - Undulator beamline with flux of 1.4x10^12 photons/sec at 9 keV. - Energy range: 6 to 15 keV (2.07 - 0.83 Å) - Typical beam size: 10x5 microns - MD2 single axis goniometer - mxCuBE v2 acquisition software - Detector: ADSC Q315r - Sample changer: CATS robot with a large 9-unipuck dewar - Well suited for selecting out sweet spots on heterogeneous crystals and finding micro-crystals http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/Recherche/LignesLumiere/PROXIMA2 BioSAXS SWING beamline (SOLEIL): - Undulator beamline with flux of 4x10^12 photons/sec at 12 keV. - Energy range: 5 to 16 keV (2.48 - 0.71 Å) - Typical beam size: 400x80 microns - Online HPLC (Agilent), coupled to user-friendly SAXS control GUI - Sample changer : Agilent injector module (2 x 54 vials) - Detector: Aviex CCD 16 x 16 cm2, read-out time 200 ms - Sample-To-Detector distance : from 1.1 to 6.6 m - Data reduction : Soleil Foxtrot Software and US-Somo - Data analysis : Atsas suite and Dadimodo http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/Recherche/LignesLumiere/SWING MX FIP Beamline (BM30A, ESRF): - Bending magnet beamline - Energy range: 7 to 18 keV (1.77 - 0.69 Å) - Detector: ADSC 315r - Goniometer: MD2 (Maatel) - Sample changer: CATS robot (soon: G-Rob "double gripper" sample changer) - In-situ X-ray diffraction screening and data collection - Soon: remote crystal harvesting http://www.fip-bm30a.fr/ http://www.esrf.eu/home/UsersAndScience/Experiments/Beamlines/content/content/bm30a.html Best regards, Javier, Jean-Luc, Bill and Pierre
