Kris Meitsner of the APS Engineering Support division Survey and Alignment group tests a quadrupole magnet at Building 369 for installation as part of the APS-U. Yet while the APS is still one of the preeminent research facilities of its kind, the electron storage ring that is at its heart was designed beginning in the late 1980s and, as groundbreaking as it was at the time, now relies on dated technology. It will be transformational.” - Jonathan Lang, the APS X-ray Science Division ( XSD) director “The APS Upgrade will allow us to conduct new experiments that we can barely even imagine right now. Such work makes clear the ongoing importance of X-ray light sources, like the APS, in solving critical problems for our world. Its beamlines are involved in research to both identify the protein structures of the virus and find potential pharmaceutical treatments and/or vaccines. Most recently, the APS is making significant contributions in the fight against COVID-19. Research conducted at the APS has also directly led to two Nobel Prizes, and contributed to a third. Note: After your experiment, it may be easier to get your samples through Canadian customs if you include a Certificate of Origin and Export Control documentation/commercial invoice.An upgrade is underway that will make the APS a global leader among the next generation of storage-ring based, high-energy X-ray light sources giving researchers a vastly more powerful tool and opening new frontiers in science. ![]()
