The new macromolecular crystallography stations at MAX-lab: The MAD station

Summary, in English

A new beamline, Cassiopeia, at MAX II is about to come into operation. It consists of an energy-tunable station and four side stations intended for macromolecular crystallography. The X-ray source is a 3.5 T superconducting multipole wiggler installed in the 1.5 GeV MAX II storage ring. The energy-tunable station use grazing incidence Rh-coated silicon mirrors and an internally water-cooled Si(111) double-crystal monochromator while the four side stations use bent diamond and germanium monochromators and multilayer mirrors. This paper concentrates on the optics design of the energy-tunable station and also briefly describes other beamline components
