The experimental apparatus for anomalous wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (AWAXS) on the GILDA beamline at the ESRF is described. The main features are the high beam stability and reproducibility which allow anomalous scattering effects to be resolved also on dilute elements, the large spectral range which allows AWAXS experiments at the K edges of heavy elements, and the use of a high‐efficiency detection system. The apparatus has been tested in extreme conditions by performing AWAXS experiments at the Eu K edge in Eu‐doped Sr metaphosphate glasses.
