The JATOBÁ Group is responsible for the management and operation of the JATOBÁ beamline of the synchrotron light source Sirius, at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).

The JATOBÁ beamline will be dedicated to X-ray diffraction in structural materials. The beamline high-energy X-rays will have great penetration in any type of material, from millimeters, in materials containing lead, to centimeters, in materials such as steel. The technique of Pair Distribution Function (PDF), which will be available in this beamline, will allow the execution of structural investigation experiments of nanocrystalline and semi-crystalline materials such as soils, rocks, metals, ceramics and concrete, with atomic resolution.
