Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, Inc. (BEST) today
announced the receipt of three contracts from Brookhaven National
Laboratory (BNL) valued at $5.5 million for beamline components for
the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS-II) under construction
in New York, as well as four other contracts for beamline
experimental stations from customers in Korea, Taiwan, China and
the United Kingdom.
The three BEST contracts from BNL include beamline components
for Coherent Hard X-ray (CHX) Scattering, Submicron Resolution
X-ray (SRX) Spectroscopy, and Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS).
According to the BNL website, NSLS-II will be a new
state-of-the-art, medium-energy electron storage ring (3 billion
electron-volts) designed to deliver world-leading intensity and
brightness, and will produce X-rays more than 10,000 times brighter
than the current NSLS facility. The NSLS and NSLS-II facilities
support a large community of scientists using photons (light) to
carry out research in energy and environmental sciences, physics,
materials science, chemistry, biology and medicine. NSLS-II is
scheduled to begin operations in 2015 and is funded by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science.
The other four contracts announced by BEST, valued together at
approximately $6 million, are:
- Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, South
Korea, for Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM)
endstation
- Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national
synchrotron, for high-end STXM endstation
- Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics,
Chinese Academy of Sciences, for three Protein Crystallography (PX)
endstations, including microdiffractometers
- National Synchrotron Radiation Research
Center, Taiwan, for two PX microdiffractometers
Wolfgang Diete, Director of BEST’s Vacuum, Beamline, and X-ray
Systems business, commented: “We are very proud that Brookhaven and
other global customers have selected BEST, based on our
technological experience and our fine reputation for delivering
state-of-the-art equipment at other synchrotron facilities
worldwide on schedule and with excellent performance. These
projects are very important for Brookhaven and other customers and
their user communities.”
