This study optimizes a Diamond Light Source photon absorber using additive manufactured (AM; 3D printing) conformal cooling channels in copper, achieving a maximum temperature drop of 11%, pressure drop reduction of 82% and examination of the AM print quality and its compliance with synchrotron and particle accelerator hardware applications using custom benchmark artefacts. These improvements can reduce thermal fatigue failure, component size, vibrations and energy consumption of absorbers, boosting overall facility efficiency, reliability and beam stability.

We present an easily assembled, low-cost beam-tilting extension for synchrotron-based ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) / small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) beamlines enabling grazing-incidence (GIUSAXS) and transmitted (GTUSAXS) experiments on liquid surfaces with negligible loss of X-ray flux. The setup is implemented at the sample stage with ∼0.5 m of additional space and provides incidence angles up to ∼0.6°, corresponding to approximately twice the critical angle of typical reflector materials.

This study introduces an advanced in situ visualization system using synchrotron white X-rays, enabling real-time imaging with micrometre resolution to investigate the solidification behaviors of metallic materials. These findings advance the understanding of microstructural evolution during melting and solidification, contributing to the development of materials with optimized properties.
