Beamlines
The following is a list of x-ray scattering beamlines available to the user community:
Available Synchrotron Beamlines
| 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.) |
Available Labscale Instruments
TBD
Future Synchrotron Beamlines
| 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. |
