Typical Paragraph for a publication¶
The following includes typical descriptions of the beamline that can be added to a paper. This is probably more than you need, so feel free to edit or select portions of this for main text or supplemental informations as appropriate, or ask the beamline staff for guidance.
This work used the beamline 13-BM-C at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory.
