Beamlines on ASTRID
ASTRID no longer operates as a synchrotron light source, but since 2013 is used as the booster ring for injection into the 3rd generation light source ASTRID2. When in operation ASTRID had eight operational SR beamlines. The characteristics of these beamlines are summarised in the table below and their location shown in the schematic drawing. Please follow the links in the table for further information and descriptions of the individual beamlines.
