The Advanced Photon Source is an Office of Science User Facility
operated for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science by
Argonne National Laboratory1The Advanced Photon Source:Vital tool
to advance U.S. scientific enterpriseExtremely bright source of
hard x-rays (E > 10 keV).
APS has 65 x-ray beamlines that support simultaneous and
independent experiments.
Beamlines are optimized and equipped for various
techniques:SpectroscopyDiffractionElastic and inelastic
scatteringImaging (full field, tomography, and scanning probe)
Over 5,000 users each year discoveries in physical and life
sciences.

Science: In situ mapping of microstructure and strain in extreme
environments
Computational model of elastic response inside a polycrystalline
metal; A.D. Rollett et al., Modeling Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. 18,
074005 (2010)Can we understand and create robust structural
materials from the atomic scale on up for use in extreme
conditions?High-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) allows
simultaneous mapping of >100 grains, in mm-sized samples.
Can be performed in a variety of extreme experimental conditions
(high stress/strain, high temp, radioactive samples, etc.)
These data form a basis for development of
micro-structural-based design tools to design materials with
improved properties.

Low spint ~650 pshnAqueous [Fe(terpy)2]2+High spinThe
high-repetition rate of the pulses of x-rays from the APS (6 MHz
rep rate and 100 ps duration) allow time-resolved studies of local
atomic and electronic coordinates of transient species using:X-ray
absorption spectroscopySmall angle x-ray scattering (SAXS)X-ray
diffraction, etc.Can we observe and control pathways for efficient
chemical reactions?

the beamlines at the APS is proposal based (they are a couple of
pages long) with calls for proposals 3 times a year.Proposals are
evaluated by one of several Proposal Review Panels (PRPs) and given
a rating from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest) based on the proposed
science.Proposals are allocated to the appropriate beamline for a
particular number of shifts.There are no user fees for
non-proprietary work.

Fluorescence nanoprobe images of trace elements in diatom cell,
at 400 nm resolution; M.D. de Jonge, et al., PNAS USA, 107 (36):
15676 (2010)
Crack development in a ceramic after impact by a steel
projectile. B.J. Jensen et al., AIP Advances 2, 012170 (2012)
The liquid breakup of a high-density stream from a fuel injector
as imaged with ultrafast synchrotron x-ray full-field phase
contrast imaging at the APS.
X-ray phase-contrast tomography: Early frog embryo in cellular
resolution (left) and cell and tissue motion captured and
visualized using flow analysis (right). Embryos are about 1 mm in
diameter.Insects deliver oxygen directly through a network of
blind-ending tracheal tubes. As insects get bigger, this type of
oxygen transport becomes far less effective. But increases the
atmospheric oxygen levels, as happened in the late Paleozoic, would
allow for longer tracheal and giantscould have evolved.The Advanced

Fuel injector spray study
Using hard x-rays in a phase contrast imaging mode, one can
simultaneously image the fuel spray (low-Z hydrocarbons) and the
steel plunger moving in and out forcing the fuel out the nozzles.
