XAFS at Elettra is the beamline dedicated to x-ray absorption spectroscopy. It is installed on a bending magnet source and it was designed to cover a wide energy range: from 2.4 to 27 keV meeting the needs of a large number of researchers in the area of conventional x-ray absorption spectroscopy.
For this reason the research activity at the XAFS at Elettra is quite diverse and ranges from fundamental physics to catalysis to material and environmental science.
