Beamline 8.0.1

Surface and Materials Science (RIXS)

Endstation 8.0.1.1 - iRIXS
Endstation 8.0.1.2 - Beamline 8.0 Open Port
Endstation 8.0.1.3 - qRIXS
Endstation 8.0.1.4 - wetRIXS

Current status	Operational; open to general users
ALS-U Status	This beamline will close ~6 months before the ALS-U dark time. It is the future location of the planned new Tender beamline, with imaging and scattering branchlines at 8.0.1.1 and 8.0.1.2, respectively. The ALS is expanding RIXS capabilities at 6.0.1 and 6.0.2. For more information, see ALS-U Beamline Impacts and other ALS-U web pages.
