The beamline is dedicated to X-ray diffraction of polycrystalline materials and will operate in the energy range of 5 to 30 keV
PAINEIRA is one of the beamlines of the Sirius synchrotron light source, at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), a private non-profit organization under the supervision of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovations (MCTI).
The PAINEIRA beamline will be dedicated to X-ray diffraction experiments of polycrystalline materials (PXRD). It will combine the benefits of high brightness and low emission of a fourth-generation synchrotron light source with fast, sensitive, and high-resolution detectors to collect high-quality data.
