The advent of the new Brazilian synchrotron light source (SIRIUS) under commissioning, low emittance and high brightness will enable many possibilities for experiments of samples at extreme environments. 

High flux x-rays beams will be available with beamsizes ranging from 80 nanometers to tens of microns to allow both x-ray spectroscopy (XAS/XMCD) and diffraction (XRD) experiments for samples under static pressures up to the limit of diamond anvil cells. Coupled to that, temperatures as low as 0.3 K and magnetic fields as high as 11 T will be also possible in order to access extreme positions of materials phase diagrams. We believe that this combination of static high pressure, low temperature and magnetic field will create unique opportunities to study quantum materials as well as many other areas of research using some of these capabilities. 

Here I will describe the status and plans for the extreme condition (EMA) beamline which should open to external users in 2020, together with a few examples of scientific motivations.
