GMS-3 Inelastic Scattering X-Ray Diffractometer


The diffractometer shown here is an instrument for X-ray inelastic
scattering experiments that was manufactured to observe an elementary
excitation phenomenon on a sample caused by X-ray irradiation. The sample
goniometer consists of a translation stage, a tilt stage, and a rotary stage for
position adjustment that have withstand loads of 500 kg. This instrument
also diffracts X-rays by means of a crystal mounted on the high-precision
analyzer goniometer to detect inelastic scattering X-rays. This instrument is
now in service at SPring-8 (Super Photon ring-8 GeV) BL11XU in Japan.
