Présentation de la ligne
PUMA (french for “Photons Utilisés pour les Matériaux Anciens”) is a hard X-ray beamline optimized for, but not exclusive to, the heritage science community. Our microbeam terminal station offers a beam size of 5 (v) x 7 (h) µm², in an energy range from 4 to 22 keV. Experimental techniques available include X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray excited optical luminescence spectroscopy (XEOL).
Link with IPANEMA
The unit works closely with the SOLEIL synchrotron and the various beamlines that host heritage science projects, and more particularly with the PUMA beamline, which was built and is operated in collaboration with IPANEMA. For more information, visit the PUMA beamline page on the SOLEIL synchrotron website.
