High Pressure Program• Dedicated Beamlines

– High-energy superconducting wiggler beamline with 4 endstations (HiPHEX)

• Letter of Interest submitted March 2008– Intermediate energy beamline at U20 source– IR spectroscopy beamline

• High Pressure Capabilities– IXS, PING, XAS project beamline– Material science beamlines– Earth sciences beamlines

• Integrated High Pressure Philosophy– NSLS-II extreme conditions laboratory

• Seed for high pressure research around the ring– Integration of BNL/CFN infrastructure in post experiment

sample characterization

What’s next

• Decision on project beamlines (June 2008)– Feedback on the HiPHEX LOI

• Next LOI due end of August 2008– U20 (Champion: Viktor Struzhkin (CIW))– IR move

• November 2008 NSLS-II expects CD-3– Defining final source properties, lattice

etc.
