The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a new x-ray synchrotron facility located at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL), on Long Island, New York, USA.

Beamlines

NSLS-II beamlines are currently under development. A complete list of the ~36 beamlines under development can be found here (map here). The following lists a few of the beamlines that are most relevant to the GISAXS and soft-matter scattering communities:

• Coherent Hard X-ray Scattering, CHX (11-ID): Unprecedented coherent flux for measurements of nanoscale dynamics.
  • Official site.
• Complex Materials Scattering, CMS (11-BM): Efficient SAXS/WAXS and GISAXS/GIWAXS experiments on complex soft-matter systems.
  • Official PDF.
• Soft Matter Interfaces, SMI (12-ID): High-flux and high-performance grazing-incidence experiments (GISAXS/GIWAXS); optimized for tender x-ray resonant scattering experiments on soft-matter systems.
  • Official PDF.
• High Brilliance X-ray Scattering for Life Sciences, LiX (16-ID): Transmission and grazing-incidence scattering (small and wide-angle) for life-science materials.
  • Official PDF.
