National Synchrotron Light Source II
National Synchrotron Light Source II, Research facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory, United States
The National Synchrotron Light Source II contains 29 experimental stations called beamlines, generating ultrabright beams from infrared to hard x-rays for scientific research.
Construction of this 912-million-dollar facility began in 2009, with official operations starting in 2015 after achieving first light in October 2014.
Each year more than 1,200 scientists from academic institutions, government laboratories, and private industries conduct advanced experiments at this Department of Energy facility.
Scientists submit research proposals through a peer-review process, with submission deadlines falling on January 31, May 31, and September 30 for year-round access.
The facility operates a medium-energy electron storage ring at 3 billion electron-volts, enabling material analysis at nanoscale resolution with exceptional sensitivity.
