UDC gets its first X-ray Diffraction Facility
The Synergy-S includes copper PhotonJet sources equipped with multilayer optics and the HyPix-6000HE Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector. The new technology of the microfocus source affords strong, highly focused beam intensity with low energy costs. Installed in Building 42, Room C12, the detector has near zero-readout noise and a high dynamic range, so reflections with high and low count rates can be measured simultaneously.
Welcome to a new semester!
Please watch President Mason’s message to welcome the UDC community to the 2023 spring semester.
