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). Typical beam size is 150 µm for TSAXS and 50 µm for GISAXS (focus to ~15 µm is possible). Measurements in air or vaccum are possible. Sample environments for performing in-situ sample heating (RT-220°C for GISAXS, RT-80°C for TSAXS) are available. Accomodations for in-situ experiments (solvent annealing, electrochemical cells) are also possible. Contact Lin Yang, Masa Fukuto, or Kevin Yager for details.

This labscale rotating-anode 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. Contact Dmytro Nykypanchuk or Kevin Yager for details.

CMS ("Complex Materials Scattering") 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. Contact Masa Fukuto, or Kevin Yager for details.

SMI ("Soft Matter Interfaces") 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. Elaine DiMasi, Mikhail Zhernenkov, or Kevin Yager for details.
