Commissioning and sustainable exploitation of the upgraded DUBBLE beamlines at the ESRF: studying the structure and function of matter at the world's most powerful synchrotron (DUBBLE) KU Leuven
Synchrotron X-rays are produced when charged particles circulate in a storage ring close to the speed of light and are much more intense compared to the X-rays used for example in hospitals. By studying the interaction of a synchrotron X-ray beam with living or non-living matter, the matter structure and structural changes are revealed down to atomic lengths scales and at submillisecond time intervals. This project finances research at DUBBLE, the two Flemish research stations attached to the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF, in Grenoble. Through experiments at the ESRF, ...
