-## Experimental Activities
-
-XRF beamline is developed by Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and operated in partnership 
-with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
-
-X-Ray Fluorescence is a versatile technique which can investigate solids, liquids,
-artworks, air particulates, inks, etc… It provides information on the elemental
-composition of a sample. 
-
-At the XRF beamline, experiments can be carried out under ambient conditions or in 
-the ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) endstation, where the pressures can be lowered down to 10-9mbar.
-
-The UHV endstation is equipped with a 7-axes manipulator to adjust the
-sample orientation with respect to the X-ray beam and/or the detectors.
-
-Available techniques
-- 2D XRF and XANES: quantitative chemical analysis over different areas of the sample;
-- Grazing Incidence XRF and XANES: ideal for nano-layered structures or shallow dopants 
-in semiconductors with nm depth resolution.
-- Total Reflection XRF and XANES: for ultra-trace elemental/chemical characterization of 
-liquid samples residues and micro/nanoparticles on smooth surfaces;
-- X-Ray Reflectivity (XRR): for structural analysis of thin films and multi-layers.
-
-There is extensive user documentation on the Elettra website written by the beamline scientist, Ilaria Carlomagno.  
+Extensive documentation describing the beamline and the data acquisition tools is provided by the
