Spectroscopy at Synchrotron SOLEIL

SOLEIL includes several spectroscopy platforms within the DIADEM perimeter, installed on the AILES, ANTARES, CASSIOPEE, DEIMOS, DIFFABS, GALAXIES, MARS, ODE, ROCK, SAMBA, LUCIA, SEXTANTS, SMIS and TEMPO lines. The various platforms have their own specific features, depending on the host light line, covering different approaches such as absorption, emission and photoemission spectroscopy, in a wide range from IR to hard X-rays, 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.
