Summary

ECXXOR: Extreme Conditions X-ray Raman, X-ray Emission and Optical Raman Spectroscopy @ the Extremely Brilliant Source

• The ECXXOR project aims to implement a combined setup at the ID20 beamline at the ESRF to study matter at extreme conditions. 
• The existing X-ray Raman scattering (XRS) spectrometer will be combined with a CO₂ laser, laser-heated diamond anvil cells (LH-DACs) and optical Raman spectroscopy to access information of local- and intermediate-range structures, as well as electronic properties of disordered matter, not accessible by other methods.
