XAS issue

Seidler 2014

XAS requires only hard x-rays performed in transmission mode

no fine focus, high flux, substantial time resolution

transmission XAFS performed at synchrotron due to lack of alternatives

limited synchrotron access

range of XAS and XES applications is constrained

impedes potentially important scientific and industrial work from being considered

lack of 'introductory level" apparatus

imposes barrier teaching XAS method to next generation hindering scientific diversities of future synchrotron user community

research on conventional laboratory X-ray spectroscopies

Does not require high beam brilliance or time resolution

relatively inexpensive assembled , commercial-low mainntenace
