CSX Beamline, NSLS-II, 2014


Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering beamline under construction at Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source II. This beamline will provide coherent soft x-ray scattering and imaging capabilities with world-leading high-coherent flux and detectors for probing correlated electronic textures and dynamics. In accelerator physics, a beamline refers to the trajectory of the beam of accelerated particles, including the overall construction of the path segment (vacuum tube, magnets, diagnostic devices) along a specific path of an accelerator facility. This part is either the line in a linear accelerator along which a beam of particles travels, or the path leading from a cyclic accelerator to the experimental endstation (as in synchrotron light sources or cyclotrons). Beamlines usually end in experimental stations that utilize particle beams or synchrotron light obtained from a synchrotron, or neutrons from a spallation source or research reactor. Beamlines are used in experiments in particle physics, materials science, chemistry, and molecular biology.
