Abstract
BL-6A at the Photon Factory is new small-angle X-ray scattering beamline. The light source makes use of a bending magnet, and the available wavelength, monochromatized by a Johann type crystal monochromator, is fixed to 1.5 Å. Various kinds of detectors for SAXS and WAXS experiments are installed in BL-6A, and a SAXS/WAXS simultaneous measurement system was also constructed. This beamline is maintained to measure various samples, such as protein solutions, fibers, liquid crystals as well as solid state materials.
