Abstract:
Starting July
2004, the G1 experimental station will become one of the hottest
beamlines at CHESS. Designed as a powerhouse for the study of
biological materials, G1 is the largest hutch at CHESS and fed by the
same 50-pole wiggler that serves G2, G3, A1 and A2. With its new
optics, namely horizontal-focusing multilayer monochromators and
vertical-focusing mirrors, G1 is conservatively expected to deliver over
1014 photons/sec/mm2 at the sample. In addition
to changes to its optics, the G1 hutch itself has undergone a
significant transformation, driven primarily by the need to accommodate
a permanent, radiation-safe pass-through pipe for the G2/G3 beam. This
talk will describe the new face and instrumentation of the G1 hutch,
with special focus on how its combination of intensity, versatility, and
novel instrumentation will allow traditional SAXS, GISAXS, and MacCHESS
experiments to continue while also enabling the exploration of new
experimental methods and regimes.
