Center for X-rays in Swedish materials science (CeXS)

CeXS works to increase the knowledge of synchrotron X-rays among Swedish researchers in materials science and engineering, to safeguard Swedish interests at the synchrotron radiation facility PETRA III in Hamburg.

About the center

Vision & Mission

The Swedish research council (VR) has invested in the construction and operation of a Swedish Materials Science (SMS) beamline (photon energy of 40-150 keV) at the synchrotron radiation facility PETRA III, DESY, Hamburg. The collaboration agreement with DESY and the new SMS beamline provide unique capabilities for Swedish materials research.
