The Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) beamline at NSLS-II is a synchrotron instrument focused on x-ray scattering. It is located at 11-BM (bending magnet port) on the NSLS-II floor, and features a three-pole wiggler source. It can perform SAXS and WAXS experiments, focusing on ambitious synchrotron experiments, including in-situ or operando studies of materials during synthesis, processing, or operation; and autonomous experiments including high-throughput explorations and 'intelligent' machine-guided exploration of parameter spaces.

  • With divergence of 0.1 mrad H x 0.05 mrad V and S4 beam size of 0.1 mm H x 0.01 mm V, "knife-edge" smy scan implies beam FWHM of ~ 22 um V at sample and flux of 1e+9 cts/s as measured at Pilatus (with attenuation factor included).

With divergence of 0.1 mrad H x 0.1 mrad V and S4 beam size of 0.1 mm H x 0.01 mm V, "knife-edge" smy scan implies beam FWHM of ~ 33 um V at sample and flux of 2e+9 cts/s as measured at

Beam Size

  • Typical 50-100 µm
  • Beam can be shaped (using slits) to 10 µm.

Configuration

CMS is a flexible SAXS/WAXS instrument. The instrument has two detectors (SAXS and WAXS) that can be repositioned as needed for experiments. The sample environment is flexible, with the ability to measure samples in vacuum or in air.

CMS can accommodate a wide range of sample holders and customized (in-situ or operando) sample environments.

Access

CMS is available for general user experiments. Proposals can be submitted through the NSLS-II proposal system, and through the CFN proposal system. Interested users should contact beamline staff.
