BEAMLINE GUIDE
CAMD GCPCC

Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The GCPCC beamline is located at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD), which is operated by Louisiana State University. The CAMD synchrotron is a second generation source that is currently operated at 1.3 GeV with an injection current of 100 mA and 2 fills per day.

The GCPCC beamline utilizes 1.5 mrad of the output of a 11-pole 7.5 Tesla super conducting wiggler. The x-rays are collimated vertically by a fixed radius cylindrical mirror, monochromatized by either a channel-cut monochromator or a multilayer monochromator and focused by a toroidal mirror with an adjustable major radius.

The channel-cut monochromator is designed for MAD data collection and has a channel-cut Si crystal in the 111 orientation.1

The end station is equipped with a MAR dtb goniostat and a Rayonics 165 mm dia. CCD. At present there is no crystal mounting robot. The dtb goniostat can accommodate pins of any reasonable length.
