This paper describes the motivation for the design and construction of a beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) for the use of UK material scientists. Although originally focused on the study of magnetic materials, the beamline has been running for 20 years and currently supports a very broad range of science as evidenced by the research topics highlighted in this article. We describe how the beamline will adapt to align with the ESRF's upgrade to a diffraction limited storage ring. This article is part of the theme issue 'Fifty years of synchrotron science: achievements and opportunities'.
本文描述了为英国材料科学家在欧洲同步辐射装置（ESRF）设计和建造一条光束线的动机。尽管该光束线最初专注于磁性材料的研究，但它已经运行了20年，目前支持非常广泛的科学研究，本文突出的研究主题就证明了这一点。我们描述了该光束线将如何进行调整，以适应ESRF升级为衍射极限储存环的要求。本文是“同步辐射科学五十年：成就与机遇”主题特刊的一部分。
