The following is a list of x-ray scattering beamlines available to the user community:

Beamline	Facility	Status	Description	Techniques	Energy range	q-range	Access
X9	NSLS	Running until Sept. 2014	X9 is an undulator-based (high-flux) and high-resolution beamline that can perform transmission and grazing-incidence scattering across a wide q-range (simultaneous SAXS/WAXS possible).	SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS	6 keV to 20 keV	0.002 Å⁻¹ to 4.2 Å⁻¹	Through NSLS or CFN user programs. (No longer accepting proposals.)

Instrument	Facility	Status	Description	Techniques	Energy range	q-range	Access
Bruker Nanostar	CFN	Available to users.	This labscale instrument is available to users. Of course a labscale instrument will not have the flux or resolution of a synchrotron beamline; nevertheless this instrument is optimized for resolution, while providing sufficient flux for measuring strongly scattering systems (e.g. nanoparticles). The sample environment is under vacuum, and offers both transmission-mode and grazing-incidence stages.	SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS	8.04 keV	0.005 Å⁻¹ to 0.3 Å⁻¹ (up to ~2 Å⁻¹ using image plate).	Available through CFN user program.

Beamline	Facility	Status	Description	Techniques	Energy range	q-range	Access
CMS	NSLS-II	Under construction.	CMS is an bending-magnet beamline being constructed at NSLS-II, based in part on the design and hardware at X9 (NSLS). The beamline will be able to perform transmission and grazing-incidence scattering across a wide q-range (simultaneous SAXS/WAXS possible), and will emphasize automation, high-throughput, and in-situ measurements.	SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS	10 keV to 17 keV	0.002 Å⁻¹ to 4.2 Å⁻¹	Will be available through NSLS-II user program.
SMI	NSLS-II	Under construction.	SMI is a undulator-based beamline being constructed at NSLS-II. SMI will be a high-flux and high-resolution instrument optimized for grazing-incidence measurements on interfaces, though also capable of performing world-class transmission scattering experiments.	SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS, XR	~2 keV to 24 keV	SAXS and WAXS	Will be available through NSLS-II user program.
