A synchrotron X‐ray diffractometer incorporating a pulsed field magnet for high fields up to 40 T has been developed and a detailed description of this instrument is reported. The pulsed field magnet is composed of two coaxial coils with a gap of 3 mm at the mid‐plane for passage of the X‐rays. The pixel detector PILATUS 100K is used to store the diffracted X‐rays. As a test of this instrument, X‐ray diffraction by a powder sample of the antiferromagnet CoO is measured below the Néel temperature. A field‐dependent lattice distortion of CoO due to magnetostriction is observed up to 38 T.
