Abstract

The current report describes the installation and the preliminary commissioning of the Material Science Powder Diffraction (MSPD) beamline at the Spanish synchrotron ALBA-CELLS. The beamline is fully dedicated to powder diffraction techniques and consists of two experimental stations positioned in series: a High Pressure/Microdiffraction station and a High Resolution/High Throughput powder diffraction station.
