Abstract

The long-pulse spallation source of the European Spallation Source—a facility under construction in Lund, Sweden—is well suited for macromolecular crystallography experiments. We review briefly the particular properties of the long-pulse source and the associated high-brilliance moderators from the point of view of instrument design. We then outline the design philosophy and current design of the NMX macromolecular diffractometer. We also briefly describe the supporting facilities available for users and finish by an evaluation of the expected performance.
