Abstract
The Australian National Beamline Facility has been installed at the Photon Factory, Tsukuba, Japan. The construction and operation of the facility has been funded by a consortium of Australian research organizations, universities, and government funding agencies, with the aim of providing Australian scientists with routine access to synchrotron radiation in the hard‐x‐ray region. The first experiments were performed at the ANBF in November 1992. The facility consists of a general purpose x‐ray‐beamline, including a simple two‐crystal monochromator, delivering either monochromatic x rays (range 5–20 keV) or white radiation to the experimental hutch. The main experimental instrument, a multiconfiguration diffractometer, has recently been installed at the beamline. This unique instrument combines vacuum operation and imaging plate detectors, and can be configured for high‐resolution powder diffraction (including a time resolved mode), protein crystallography, and triple‐axis experiments. In addition, the white or monochromatic beam can pass through the diffractometer to a secondary experimental table, where experiments such as EXAFS, Laue diffraction, topography, and microbeam measurements are performed. Details of the beamline, monochromator, and diffractometer optics and performance will be described, and an overview will be given of the experimental capabilities of the facility. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
