Advanced Photon Source The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is a third-generation synchrotron located at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, United States. It is a User Facility that provides synchrotron radiation for scientific research and has been in operation since 1996. The APS is one of the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science User Facilities, and it supports a wide range of scientific research in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.

Overview

The APS is a synchrotron light source that produces high-energy X-rays and ultraviolet (UV) radiation for use in a variety of scientific experiments. The facility is designed to support research in a wide range of fields, including materials science, biology, chemistry, and physics. The APS has a storage ring with a circumference of 1,104 meters and operates at an electron energy of 7 gigaelectronvolts (GeV).

Technical Specifications

The APS has a number of technical specifications that make it a powerful tool for scientific research. The facility has a lattice design that provides a high brightness and flux of synchrotron radiation, with a photon energy range of 10 electronvolts (eV) to 100 kiloelectronvolts (keV). The APS also has a number of beamlines that are equipped with experimental stations for data collection. The facility has a time structure that allows for pulsed and continuous operation.

Scientific Applications

The APS has a wide range of scientific applications, including materials science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Researchers use the APS to study the structure and properties of materials, including nanomaterials, biomaterials, and energy storage materials. The facility is also used to study biological systems, including protein crystallography and cell biology.

History and Development

The APS was constructed in the 1990s and began operation in 1996. The facility was upgraded in 2016 with the installation of a new insertion device and a upgraded storage ring. The APS is currently undergoing a major upgrade, known as the APS Upgrade, which will increase the facility's brightness and flux by a factor of 100.

User Facility and Operations

The APS is a User Facility that is open to researchers from around the world. The facility is operated by Argonne National Laboratory and is supported by the United States Department of Energy's Office of Science. Researchers can submit proposals to use the APS and can access the facility's beamlines and experimental stations through a competitive review process. The APS also provides training and support for researchers to help them make the most of their experiments.
