High Pressure X-Ray Facility at National Synchrotron Light Source

该奖项为高压X射线设备(HPXF)的开发和维护提供资金支持。HPXF在布鲁克海文国家实验室的国家同步加速器光源维护着两个超导摇摆器光束线X17分支。光束线提供高亮度的X射线，主要供高压矿物物理研究社区使用。HPXF设施还维护着配套的高压设备，并为使用同步辐射的访客提供技术援助。用户的科学研究应用包括研究地球和行星材料在高压和高温下的性质(例如，状态方程、弹性、流变性和相关系)，代表地球内部的条件。*

0004084Mao This award provides funding support for the development and maintenance of the High-Pressure X-Ray Facility (HPXF). The HPXF maintains two branches of superconducting wiggler beamline X17 at the National Synchrotron Light Source located at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The beamline offers high brilliance X-radiation for use mainly by the high-pressure mineral physics research community. The HPXF facility also maintains supporting high-pressure equipment and provides technical assistance for visitors using the synchrotron radiation. Scientific research applications by users include studies of earth and planetary materials properties (for example, equations of state, elasticity, rheology, and phase relations) at high pressures and temperatures representative of conditions in the earth's deep interior.***
