The beamline 3B3 with double crystal monochromator in the middle X-ray range has been successful constructed at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF) in the CAS Institute of High Energy Physics. It was checked and accepted by a panel of experts on April 4 in Beijing.
The beamline is an engineering project by integrating different high-technologies, including X-ray optics, fine machinery, ultra-high vacuum technology, electronics and microcomputer control technology. Consisting of the front-end and mainbody beamline, the project is the first synchrotron radiation beamline in middle X-ray range developed by Chinese mainland scientists. It may be applied to various research and experimental activities in the medium energy zone ranging from 1.2keV to 6.0keV, involving metrology, detector's properties, the development of new optical elements and devices, absorption spectroscopy.
