CMS
The Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) beamline at NSLS-II is a synchrotron bending magnet instrument focused on x-ray scattering. It is located at 11-BM on the NSLS-II floor. It can perform SAXS and WAXS experiments, focusing on high-throughput and 'intelligent' machine-guided exploration of parameter spaces.

Capabilities
CHX can perform a variety of experiments:
Performance
Energy
- Can perform experiments from 10 keV to 17 keV.
- Energy resolution (double multilayers): 10−3
q-range
- 0.002 Å−1 to 4.2 Å−1
Resolution
TBD
Flux
Full beam (no slits), near sample position:
- 1.3 ×1012 ph/s/0.1%bw (13.5 keV, 250 mA ring current)
Beam Size
- Typical 50-100 µm
- Focusing to 20 µm possible.
Access
CMS has taken 'first light' and is currently undergoing technical commissioning. General User access is scheduled for summer 2017. Access will be possible through the NSLS-II proposal system, and through the CFN proposal system. Interested users should contact beamline staff.
