 '''X9''' is an [[x-ray]] [[scattering]] [[synchrotron]] [[beamline]] at the National Synchrotron Light Source ([[NSLS]]), Brookhaven National Lab ([[BNL]]). It is a joint beamline between the NSLS and the [http://www.bnl.gov/cfn/ Center for Functional Nanomaterials] (which is a partner user). The instrument is optimized for doing Small-Angle X-ray Scattering ([[SAXS]]) and Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering ([[GISAXS]]), as well as wide-angle Grazing-Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GID/GIXD/[[GIWAXS]]).
-This beamline ceased operations in 2015, due to the transition from [[NSLS]] to [[NSLS-II]]. Improved capabilities can be found in the NSLS-II beamlines [[CHX]], [[CMS]], and [[SMI]].
