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 Laboratory : The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory Dennis Mills Deputy Associate Laboratory for Photon Sciences Deputy Director of the Advanced Photon Source ANL Day at MSU September 9-10, 2013 Slide 2 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 Laboratory The Advanced Photon Source: Vital tool to advance U.S. scientific enterprise Extremely 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: Spectroscopy Diffraction Elastic and inelastic scattering Imaging (full field, tomography, and scanning probe) Over 5,000 users each year discoveries in physical and life sciences.

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.

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. http://www.aps.anl.gov/Beamlines/Directory/ Tells you what that beamline does and provides name and contact info for BL scientist. http://www.aps.anl.gov/Users/New/ Slide 8 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 Laboratory Imaging at the APS 8 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.
