SPring-8 is a large synchrotron radiation facility which delivers the most powerful synchrotron radiation currently available. And it's managed by RIKEN, with the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) in charge of operation, maintenance and promotion of use.
NIMS Beamline at SPring-8
UIltra high precision analysis of structure of advanced materials and analysis of electronic state of the materials, by the use of the contract beamline.
The research project using SR has started since fiscal 1997, and is comprehensively promoting perfection of research facilities for the dedicated beamline (Contract beamline at SPring-8) named "BL15XU (WEBRAM)", and ultra high precision analysis of structure of advanced materials and analysis of electronic state of the materials, by the use of the contract beamline.
Introduction
The concept of BL15XU (WEBRAM - Wide Energy Beamline for Research in Advanced Materials), is “wide and bright“. This beamline was designed to provide wide range of monochromatic X-rays from 0.5keV to 60 keV and is ready for material analysis under extreme environment such as ultra-high temperature and ultra-high vacuum region. We study both crystal structures and electron states analysis on advanced materials in our beamline.

The X-ray source
BL15UX (WEBRAM)
The X-ray source of BL15XU is a revolver type undulator, which enables us to use two undulation modes, helical and planar. Using these two modes, the wide energy range from 0.5keV to 60keV has been realized. The helical mode provides photons of low-energy regions, 0.5keV to 5keV, and the planar mode covers high-energy regions over 5keV.
