Abstract: | January 2008 was the time of the official opening of SOLEIL's beamlines and guest house. This transition from construction to operational phase was made possible after commissioning of the 17°C water circuits of the beamlines. Users have access to eleven beamlines, from infrared to hard X-ray (AILES, SMIS, DESIRS, CASSIOPEE, TEMPO, DIFFABS, ODE, CRISTAL, SAMBA, PROXIMA1 and SWING). The LUCIA beamline, which has been operational on SLS since June 2004, will be installed at SOLEIL from mid-2008, and the XPEEM station of the future “soft X-ray microscopy” beamline is already producing fascinating XMCD and XMLD results at ELETTRA. Five beamlines are under construction. |
