XAFS Beamlines at the NSLS
All x-ray ring beamlines with the exceptions of X15B and X19A are hard x-ray beamlines, thus accommodate experiments starting with about 5keV (i.e. the Ti K-edge or Cs L3 edge).
Some beamlines provide special capabilities. For example X3B has instrumentation of particular interest to biologists and X18B is equipped with a quick-scanning monochromator.
