The bending magnet beamline has two optics enclosures (13-BM-A and 13-BM-B) and two experimental stations (13-BM-C, a side station, and 13-BM-D, an end station). 13-BM-A houses a beam splitter which divides the 6 mrad fan into two pieces, 2.5 mrad (outboard) for the end station, and 1.5 mrad (inboard) for the side station. 13-BM-C and 13-BM-D are completely independent and can operate 100% of the time. 13-BM-D is served by a water-cooled silicon double crystal (13-BM-A) operating from 7-70 keV. 13-BM-C is being commissioned and will be served by a bent vertically focusing mirror (13-BM-B) and a single bounce, horizontally focusing monochromator (13-BM-B).
