Linac beamline LB1 is the first, or 15° beam port off the second Linac switching magnet.
The Zouros group from the University of Crete has one experiment mounted to this beamline.

Hemispherical Auger Spectrograph

The hemispherical zero-degree Auger spectrograph is used for the study of electron emission from projectiles in ion-atom collisions. A complete decription is available from the Zouros group's home web site.

The line is also equipped with a magnetic quadrupole doublet lens and two sets of magnetic steerers.
