	Beamline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In materials science, physics, chemistry and molecular biology a beamline is the experimental end station utilizing synchrotron light obtained from a synchrotron or neutrons obtained from a research reactor or a spallation source.
		It is imperative and critical to have all beamline sections, magnets, etc, aligned by a survey and alignment crew by using a laser tracker.
		Beamline may also refer to the instrumentation that carries beam to an end station which uses the synchrotron radiation produced by the bending magnets and insertion devices in the storage ring of a synchtrotron radiation facility.

	Sibyls: Structurally-Integrated Biology for Life Sciences
		Beamline Design: The technical challenges in solving structures of large, biologically important macromolecular complexes involves both merging a variety of traditionally independent experimental techniques and the collection of X-ray diffraction data at different beamline geometries.
		Thus, the challenge in the design of the SIBYLS beamline was to allow a rapid conversion between the variety of beamline geometries that are required to cover the broad spectrum of data collection needs for large macromolecular complexes that are critical to cell biology.
		This beamline will furthermore provide the technology to support experiments designed to allow docking the crystal structures of the smaller component proteins into low resolution molecular envelopes of the larger, multi-component biologically relevant states, some of which are less amenable to crystallization (such as some intermediate assembly states).

		The beamline staff member who is typically responsible for overseeing the daily operation and maintenance of the beamline.
		Monochromatic branch: The U13UB beamline design is based upon a 3m normal incidence monochromator (NIM), with pre-monochromator optics to couple the undulator source output to the monochromator, and post-monochromator optics to refocus the monochromator output beam onto the sample.
		Beamline control: Windows PC with Labview and custom vi¡¦s provided by McPherson, Inc. to control the angle and position of the grating and provide scanning capability with single-channel detection for calibration and alignment of the monchromator/beamline.

		The beamlines and corresponding instrumentation are an integrated part of the facility design that defines the quality of the machine, the efficiency of the usage of photon sources as well as the requirements for civil engineering in addition to accelerator complex.

	Beamline
		The GCPCC beamline is located at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD), which is operated by Louisiana State University.
		The GCPCC beamline utilizes 1.5 mrad of the output of a single-pole 7 Tesla super conducting wiggler.
		The x-rays are collimated vertically by a fixed radius cylindrical mirror, monochromatized by either a channel-cut monochromator or a multilayer monochromator and focused by a toroidal mirror with an adjustable major radius.

	Beamline Article
		It's ironic that the multi-layer mirror beamline at the SRC may be the only beamline in the world with the proper characteristics to conduct these experiments.
		In 1995 and '96 the beamline was used to measure the quality and uniformity of transmission filters for a spectrometer to be flown by NASA.
		In 1996 the multilayer mirror beamline was the essential facility that allowed the SRC to develop an entirely new measurement of the magnetic diffuse scattering at magnetic/nonmagnetic interfaces.

	Berkeley Lab Research Review Fall 1998 \| ALS: The Genesis of a Beamline
		Construction began in 1997 on beamline 10.0.1, a premier source of undulator light for AMO physics.
		Berrah, who oversaw the project, praises Bozek, a staff scientist with the ALS, and the ALS technical staff for assembling the beamline, and for their role in the project's immediate success.
		Ultimately, the AMO branches of the beamline will feature five endstations, but even now, with less than three in place, scientific contributions to the field have already been made.

	Beamline issues for FNPSNS
		A good deal of design work has been done for these beamlines and it is felt that the approach will work for these instruments despite the fact that their background requirements are rather stringent (see http://www.sns.gov/users/instrument_data_sheets.pdf for a brief description of the reflectometers and the layouts of other instruments).
		Designing a guide for this region is more difficult for the dual beamline, but our current understanding of the relevant dimensions indicates that it is possible to extend both guides to within 1 m of the source and not have them overlap.
		Finally, and perhaps most critically, the operation of the beamline must be carried out in a way that meets the needs of the individuals and teams contemplating experiments at the SNS.

	THE NEW BEAMLINE 3 AT SURF III FOR SOURCE-BASED RADIOMETRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The mission of this beamline is to provide calculable radiation with wide spectral range from VUV to IR for source intercomparison.
		Beamline 3 is a straight-through white-light beamline with minimum optical components in the beamline before the user endstation.
		The uncertainty of the radiation at beamline 3 is determined by the three fundamental parameters for synchrotron radiation and factors related to the beamline geometry, e.g., the distance measurement, the scattered light, and the window transmission if any used in the optical path of the beamline.

	PB Beamline
		The neutral beam produced at the dump is passed through a 60% radiation length lead convertor where most of the photons will interact to produce an electron-positron pair.
		The secondary beamline transports either or both of the electrons and positrons to a lead radiator in PB6 while the remaining neutral secondaries (consisting of neutrons, kaons, lamdas, and uninteracted photons) are absorbed in the neutral dump in PB5.
		The PB3E cryogenic magnets are the last major bends in the primary beamline and again direct the PB beam east towards the targets in PB4 and the PB7 experiment hall.

	SAXS Methodology at SIBYLS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The SIBYLS beamline, expected to be completed in the first year of the Program Project, has been designed specifically to tackle the problems facing the crystallographic structure determinations of large complexes and to overcome experimental difficulties faced at existing X-ray sources.
		The inherent flexibility of the SIBYLS beamline design will allow for the maximization of the information collected from any individual sample, which is critical for the success of these multi-component systems as sample preparation, not the speed of data collection, will be the limiting factor.
		Detailed SIBYLS beamline design and implementations will be performed by the ALS staff as directed by Howard Padmore to specifications developed by Core investigators Ulrick Genick, Thomas Earnest, and John Tainer.

		The beamline monochromator uses a combined rotation and translation of a spherical variable line spaced grating to maintain focus and minimize aberrations across a broad energy range.
		He is also responsible for beamline upgrades like an additional grating that will allow the monochromator to cover the 250-550 eV range.
		Other future improvements for the beamline include a beam position monitor system supplying feed back to the entrance mirror control system, modifying the monochromator control system, and improving the quality of the optics.
