Beamline 7.3.3

Small- and Wide-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS / WAXS / GISAXS)

Current status	Operational; open to general users
ALS-U Status	This beamline will close at the start of the ALS-U dark time and will remain closed after the ALS upgrade. It is under consideration for post-ALS-U reopening/upgrade, and scoping for a new beamline at 4.3.1 is underway. The ALS is seeking avenues for funding and collaboration. For more information, see ALS-U Beamline Impacts and other ALS-U web pages.
