Small angle scattering station of BEPC synchrotron radiation laboratory

The small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) station is located at 34 m from the source in the downstream of the x-ray diffraction station. The station is equipped with a SAXS camera, a detector, an alignment carriage and on-line data acquisition and control system. The SAXS camera consists of a slit-system with position precision 1 μm, a remotely controlled sample holder with vertical and horizontal translations at the plane normal to photon beam and a vacuum pipe with 0.13 Pa. The research for this station is directed on the static and dynamic structure, phase composition and phase transmission in various fields such as molecular biology, materials science, polymer chemistry and metallurgy
