Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the description of a state-of-the-art synchrotron beamline fully optimised for monochromatic x-ray diffraction at high pressure and high (or low) temperature. This beamline exhibits outstanding performance in terms of photon flux and focusing capabilities at high x-ray energies. The main components of this instrument are described in some details. In particular, the choices in terms of x-ray source, x-ray optics, detectors and sample environment are discussed.
