NSLS-II is a state-of-the-art synchrotron facility that delivers world-leading performance in nanoscience, nanoprobes, diffraction, imaging, nanocatalysis, and coherent dynamics. It is a crucial resource for the Northeast region, with over 2300 users from academic, industrial, and government institutions, and over 800 publications per year. NSLS-II enables research at the nanoscale, with high spatial and energy resolution, and single atom sensitivity.

National SynchrotronLight Source • First Dedicated Second Generation Synchrotron • and only remaining second generation DOE synchrotron! • Designed in the 1970’s • Operating Since 1982 • Continually updated over the years - Brightness has improved more than 100,000 fold • However • - The brightness has reached its theoretical limit • - Only a small number of insertion devices are possible Improvement in Electron Beam Emittance 1990 2000 Restricted Capabilities of present NSLS limit the productivity and impact of its large user community
The Mission Need for NSLS-II • Major studies by BESAC, BES, and the National Nanotechnology Initiative have reassessed the research and the scientific tools needed to advance energy technologies. • A common conclusion is that the development of nanoscale materials – as well as the methods to characterize, manipulate and assemble them – is critical for the development of future energy technologies. • The remarkable tools that were developed over the past 30 years for visualizing the nanoworld – in particular, the synchrotron radiation light sources – helped launch the nanorevolution; ; however, none of today’s light sources (anywhere in the world) were designed to probe materials with 1 nanometer spatial resolution and with 0.1 meV energy resolution (equivalent to ~1 K). “Light sources with even more advanced capabilities than the best available today are needed to address the challenges put forward in these and other reports.”
High Level Description of NSLS-II • A highly optimized x-ray synchrotron delivering: • extremely high brightness and flux; • exceptional beam stability; and • a suite of advanced instruments, optics, and detectors that capitalize on these special capabilities. • Together, these enable: • ~ 1 nm spatial resolution, • ~ 0.1 meV energy resolution, and • single atom sensitivity.
What Research will NSLS-II Uniquely Enable? • The “nanoscale” covers the length range from 1 to 100 nm, but the low end of this scale is particularly important for many fundamental studies. • Research at the NSLS-II will focus on some of the most important challenges at the lower end of the nanoscale size range, including: • the correlation between nanoscale structure and materials properties and functions; • the mechanisms of molecular self-assembly, which produces exquisite molecular structures in both the living and nonliving worlds; and • the science of emergent behavior, which arises from cooperative behavior of individual components of a system.
