Beamlines

Beamlines are specialized pathways or channels found in research facilities, such as synchrotrons or neutron sources, that direct beams of particles or radiation, like X-rays or neutrons, towards samples for scientific analysis. These beams help researchers study materials at the atomic or molecular level, revealing their structure and properties. Each beamline is equipped with various tools and detectors tailored for different experiments, enabling scientists to explore a wide range of fields, from biology to materials science, thus advancing our understanding of the natural world and fostering innovations in technology and medicine.
