| GALAXIES (Great beAmLine for Advanced X-ray Inelastic scattering and Electron Spectroscopy), whose construction began in October 2009, is an undulator beamline optimised in the hard x-ray domain between 2.3 and 12 keV. The use of high-energy photons will make it possible to examine materials in depth (up to approximately ten microns) and in harsh environments (e.g. materials under pressure). The experiments carried out on the GALAXIES beamline will be used to characterise the electronic properties of materials in many areas such as solid-state physics, chemistry, geophysics, biophysics, and diluted systems. The techniques used on the beamline are:
- Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS),
- High-energy photoemission (HAXPES)
