Advances in X-ray diffractive optics with nearly arbitrary beam-structuring capabilities open new possibilities for the use of X-rays in probing complex electronic structures in matter. ALS-U and the increased coherent flux from diffraction-limited synchrotrons make the potential for innovative methods with these optics even more attractive. One demonstrated result of tailoring the intensity...

7. Recent results and update of instrumentation for soft x ray resonant scattering and coherent imaging at ALBA synchrotron light source

The facilities for soft x-ray resonant scattering and coherent imaging at ALBA synchrotron (presently BOREAS beamline) will be overview, including details on recent and on-going upgrades. The capabilities will be illustrated through a wrap up of recent results by various user teams and the beamline team.
