CHESS activity report F many years, most synchrotron stations for crystallography, such as CHESS A1, used X-ray sensitive film as the primary detector and xray radiation at about 8 keV (1.5 Å). Two years ago CHESS constructed station F1 on a wiggler line that is tuneable from about 7-14 keV. In practice, this station operates with a standard energy of 0.91 Å. The benefits of using higher energi...
