| Popis: | XAIRA is a new beamline being built at ALBA synchrotron for macromolecular crystallography (MX) devoted to the study of small bio crystals. It aims at providing a full beam with a size of 3x1 µm² FWHM (hxv) and flux of >3·10¹² ph/s (250 mA in Storage Ring) at 1 Å wavelength (12.4 keV) to tackle MX projects for which only tiny (10 μm) or imperfect crystals are obtained. Besides, XAIRA aims at providing photons at low energies, down to 4 keV, to support MX experiments exploiting the anomalous signal of the metals naturally occurring in proteins (native phasing), which is enhanced in the case of small crystals and long wavelengths. To this end, an in-vacuum undulator has been built by a consortium between Kyma and Research Instruments companies. In this paper, we present the results of the Site Acceptance Tests made at ALBA using a new bench developed to measure closed structures, and also the steps done for its installation in the ALBA tunnel.
