Title: Materials research and beam line operation utilizing NSLS: Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6858041

MATRIX, organized in 1980 to serve common interests of a group of scientists interested in synchrotron x-ray diffraction, operates beam line X-18A at NSLS for the benefit of the Materials Science and Engineering research community. Throughout this past year during Phase II shutdown of NSLS, a major effort was made to upgrade and improve the capabilities of the beam line. Major changes involve a change to total UHV operations, added new optics with a unique non-focusing monochromator and a focusing mirror, inclusion of beam line monitors, and the planning for simplified computer control. Research directly related to this project resulted in nine papers being published or submitted including one paper by a general user of the beam line. In addition, six other research papers on research complementary to the project by MATRIX members were published or submitted.
