A beam-stop mount designed for use with area detectors

A 1 mm vertical-pro®le X-ray beamstop has been designed to operate in the energy range 6±20 keV. The relationship between the beamstop-to-sample distance and air scatter is discussed with the intent of establishing criteria for optimal beamstop positioning during an experiment. Different choices for beamstop materials are described with respect to stopping power,¯uorescence and scattering from the surface. Suggestions for improvements in beamstop design are presented which are applicable for future automation and equipment safety. All work was performed on the Structural Biology Center insertiondevice beamline, 19ID, at the Advanced Photon Source.

A beam-stop mount designed for use with area detectors

Abstract: A beam‐stop holder is described that allows for easy removal of the beam stop during alignment and calibration measurements and then for precise repositioning prior to data collection.
