The team is in SOLEIL

The HotCores team is at the Psiché beamline of the SOLEIL synchrotron this week.

PSICHÉ (Pressure Structure and Imaging by Contrast at High Energy) is dedicated to X-ray diffraction under extreme conditions and to tomography at high energy, from ambient to extreme conditions with a  in-vacuum wiggler source that is used to produce a wide variety of beam modes, from a large parallel white/pink beam to a microfocused monochromatic beam.

For diamond anvil cell experiments, we use a monochromatic beam of 20 to 50 keV. The beamline is equiped with a double-sided laser heating facility with 4 color pyrometry, with optical quality which is unique in the world of high pressure dedicated beamlines.
