Hi Michele! -did you go in steps from 10 to 40 C? did you monitor drifts while doing that? has the energy range, where you do not observe problems, changed? In fact I was not planning to do that cause 40ºC seems to be the mono’s basal temperature. In addition, I operated n

As I recall, your setup down there is similar to mine (ALS 8.3.1), so perhaps I can be of some assistance. There are only two things that can cause changes in energy: d and theta. This is because lambda=2*d*sin(theta). If the change is entirely due to thermal expansion of the mono crystal,

Dear Mark, thanks for your answer! Yes, there is an actual change in energy and I guess my problem does not have a single source! In the case you know someone who faced/have faced a similar problem around please tell me. Brazilian regards, LS. 1. Is the energy drift a change in flux or actual

Hey Andrew! Thanks for answering! Does someone have experience in minimize energy instabilities in beamlines? Are you sure it's an energy instability and not an intensity one? It's quite rare to see energy instabilities from a well calibrated monochromator. All monochromators should be in a clos

Hello all! Does someone have experience in minimize energy instabilities in beamlines? MX2, our new beamline devoted to MX experiments, are facing problems with energy drifts. As far as we could notice, theses drifts are results of the contribution from several sources - possibly electron beam m
