D1B - CRG - High intensity two-axis powder diffractometer

D1B is a high-intensity powder diffractometer equipped with a Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) covering an angular range of 0.8° to 128.8°. Thanks to its highly efficient detector, it is in high demand for real-time experiments and very small samples. D1B operates as a CRG-A instrument managed jointly by CNRS and CSIC. 50% of the beam time is used by ILL experiments while the other 50% of the beam time is used by CNRS and CSIC.
