Accurate Direct Beam Position Now in Image Header

For the MX endstation we’ve characterized the dependence of the direct beam on detector distance and 2-theta. We collected 4 sweeps of the detector from 120mm to 1600mm combined with 2-theta offsets from 0º up to 12º. These are the gnuplot 3D plots of the data. This set of 3D plots uses gnuplots pm3d settings…

New Google-style Annotated Time Lines for Beamline Data

For older browsers, or non-flash enabled mobile browsers, we offer the old skool status page which has convenient small png files showing the last 24 hours of beamline data, but if you want to have a hands-on experience you might want to try out our new Google-style annotated time lines. If you’re familiar with the Google finance…

SIBYLS Beamline Awarded 50,000 Hours on the DOE’s NERSC Supercomputer Cluster to Analyze SAXS Data

The SIBYLS beamline has recently been awarded 50,000 hours on the NERSC (National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center) to perform solution structure modeling using experimental SAXS data. Besides the usual ab-initio reconstructions programs a new approach in rigid body modeling BILBOMD has been parallelized on the NERSC supercomputer. It is commonly acknowledged that flexibility between domains of…

Crystals webapp Installed

The [crystals](http://bl1231.als.lbl.gov/crystals) server (an Apache Tomcat webapp) has been installed. The crystals webapp will allow you to upload an excel spreadsheet, containing a list of samples, to the SIBYLS beamline for use with DOMO. The spreadsheet will be automatically converted to an XML file and will become available to you via Blu-Ice once you start…
