The Seriema1 beamline (Serial Experiments for Extreme Mapping Analysis) will be primarily dedicated to X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments using microbeams, enabling the structural characterization of a large number of samples under either high-pressure or ambient conditions. Its instrumentation will be optimized for experiments with beam sizes ranging from approximately 5 to 50 µm and photon energies between 5 and 45 keV, allowing for rapid spatial mapping and serial measurements across a large number of points and samples.
1The Seriema beamline is part of the second phase of the Sirius project, which was included in the Growth Acceleration Program (Novo PAC) and will be funded by resources from the FNDCT/MCTI. The plan announced by the Federal Government foresees investments of R$ 800 million for the second phase of the Sirius project. This includes the design and construction of ten new research stations, including technical and building infrastructure, in addition to the continuous optimization of electron accelerators.
