Diffraction at Synchrotron SOLEIL
Description
SOLEIL includes several diffraction platforms within the DIADEM perimeter, installed on the CRISTAL, DIFFABS, MARS, PSICHE and SIXS lines. The various platforms have their own specificities to the host light lines, covering different approaches such as single crystal / powder / surface / coherent diffraction in the X-hard range and adapted sample environments. Platforms are accessible via project submissions to program committees, or via other access modes that may be set up as part of DIADEM.
