In partnership between CHESS, the MagLab, and the University of Puerto Rico, the High Magnetic Field Beamline will serve convergence research between two large NSF facilities and train students from UPR to become future technology leaders.
X-rays can uniquely address fundamental, long-standing questions about the nature of matter in high magnetic fields. Unfortunately, facilities to enable this science are presently lacking... Until Now.
The NSF has awarded CHESS $32.6 million to build a High Magnetic Field (HMF) X-Ray beamline, which will allow researchers to conduct precision X-ray studies of materials in persistent magnetic fields that exceed those available at any other synchrotron.
