The construction of Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source II is approaching its final stage. Recently the last of 150 magnet girders was installed in the storage ring. Magnets traveled from across the globe, supplied by ring magnet vendors based in six countries: Buckley Systems Ltd (New Zealand), Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Russia), Danfysik (Denmark), Everson Tesla Incorporated (U.S.), Institute of High Energy Physics (China), and Tesla Engineering (U.K.). In the experimental hall, meanwhile, 17 hutches have been delivered and constructed for seven beamlines; CSX1 and CSX2 (two branches of Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering and Polarization), CHX (Coherent Hard X-ray Scattering), IXS (Inelastic X-ray Scattering), HXN (Hard X-ray Nanoprobe), SRX (Submicron Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy) and XPD (X-ray Powder Diffraction).

An explanation of the CSX beamline construction can be viewed on You Tube.
