New potentialities at the ESRF surface diffraction beamline ID03 — •N.M. Jeutter, I. Popa, D. Wermeille, H. Isern-Herrea, E. Paiser, L. Petit, T. Dufrane , and R. Felici — ESRF, 6 Rue Jules Horowitz, 38000 Grenoble, France

The ESRF surface diffration beamline ID03 has been devoted to structural and dynamical studies of surfaces and interfaces since 1993. Structural and dynamical studies like epitaxial growth, surface kinetics and phase transitions resulted in many publications. The hutch 1 diffractometer can host small UHV, catalysis and electrochemistry cells. In the hutch 2 the diffractometer coupled with a large UHV chamber, allows the studying of the structures and the kinetics of adsorbates or homostructures. A refurbishment program is currently underway. An upgrade of the monochromator takes place in order use the full brightness of the undulator source, and to allow for an easier control on the selected used beam energy. The optics of the beamline will be improved in order to achieve a focussing at the sample of the order of few squared microns. The modernisation of the experimental hutch 2 will allow users to install their own UHV systems and will simplify the changing of the samples on the provided chamber. Aim of this contribution is to show to the surface science community the status of the ID03 refurbishment plan and the new opportunities provided by the upgraded instrumentation.
