SAXS/WAXS Complete in Vacuum Endstation Upgrade- Installation Expected Dec2018 | |
|
||
| The SAXS/WAXS beamline at the Australian Synchrotron is carrying out a complete in house design endstation upgrade to incorporate 2 new in vacuum detectors, a Pilatus3-2M (SAXS) and a Pilatus-100K (WAXS). The new design will encase the new detector, detector stages and multiple beam stops (all in house design) in an 8m x 1.1m x 1.25m long rectangular, modular, aluminium vacuum chamber capable of achieving pressures of 10-4 - 10-5mbar. The 2M and beamstops can be driven the entire length of the chamber for fast change of focal length. The upstream end of the chamber has a 250mm gate valve onto which an in vacuum sample chamber (housing an IV hexapod and positioning stages) can be quickly connected and pumped down in minutes. This chamber can be automatically driven up and out the way and replaced with a flange to take nose cones with kapton windows for in air samples. The entire chamber is mounted on a jacking and air pad system giving the chamber 6 degrees of freedom. The system will dramatically improve signal to noise during data collection, maximise use of the detector area and increase beamline efficiency by reducing time to change focal length from 4hrs to seconds. | ||
