11-BM Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) - A New SAXS/WAXS Beamline at NSLS II

The Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory provides small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) capabilities for materials science community, both in transmission and grazing-incidence geometry. With the initial construction phase completed and commissioning work started in 2016, the CMS beamline has been taking general users since June 2017. We will present the current status of the beamline, available techniques and sample environments, as well as our vision for the future development. Topics such as high-throughput sample handling, in situ sample environments, and automating beamline workflow will be discussed.
