Cornell University New Experimental Hall for CHESS
A Multidimensional Collaborative Research Facility
Cornell’s High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) laboratory serves scientists internationally each year. The electron beam ring provides high-powered, tangential x-ray beams that are used to see things not visible to the human eye. Its use is applicable across scientific disciplines, from exploring the painting behind a Picasso to the creation of vaccines. The New Experimental Hall will provide three x-ray beam lines, one which will house one of the strongest magnets in the world. The High-Magnetic Field (HMF) combined with the x-ray beam will enable groundbreaking research.
