#BESSYbeamlinePortraits: Roberto Felix Duarte

At BESSY II, we are operating some 50 beamlines, each of which offers the latest methods in spectroscopy and microscopy.
Each beamline has a dedicated beamline scientist, who not only manages all the projects on the beamline and knows its every secret, but also works with local and visiting scientists to get the best results out of the beam and its instruments for every specific research question they have. Without the beamline scientists, much of the science at BESSY II could never happen.
But who are they? What makes a good beamline scientist and where do they come from? In this little series you are going to find out. Today we introduce Dr. Roberto Felix Duarte, who works at the KMC-1 beamline.Read More →

TRIBS: Two orbits in one synchrotron – a nightly workshop at BESSY II

A photostory at the end of this text reports about a special workshop at BESSY II. It was mid of november, in the night from sunday to monday, when a couple of accelerator scientists from MAX IV, BESSY II, CERN, KARA at KIT and DELTA from TU Dortmund gathered in the control room of BESSY II. They wanted to explore the so called two orbit or TRIBS modus in which one synchrotron could deliver two different sorts of light pulses. But let’s start with a short introduction: A Synchrotron Lightsource is a wonderful toolbox for doing research: it produces brilliant light pulses mostly in theRead More →

The beamline is UE-52 PGM, which serves two end-stations, CoESCA station and Nano Cluster Trap station. It’s a soft X-ray undulator beamline with photon energies up to 1600 eV. Read More →

At the end of the 90s, a consortium of several German research institutions proposed a multi-purpose infrared beamline for the new electron storage ring BESSY II under the acronym IRIS (InfraRotInitiative Synchrotronstrahlung). Funded by two proposals to the BMBF the beamline started operating in 2002 as a Cooperative Research Groupe (CRG) beamline and turned into a BESSY-operated beamline in 2004 at the end of the BMBF funding period.Read More →

I work at the EMIL beamline which is a very complex system. It provides light for the EMIL laboratory (Energy Materials In-situ Laboratory Berlin) by combining two undulators: UE48 for the soft X-ray range and cryo-cooled U17 for the hard X-ray range. It delivers an energy range from 80 eV to 10000 eV to five end-stations. It has ten mirror chambers to guide the light and three monochromators to select the required energies, and it has a length of 62 m while only 1 m width.Read More →
