Beamline Status Updates

 

May 2, 2025

  

We are pleased to announce that 25-ID-C,D has begun hosting users on a limited basis during scientific commissioning. We will continue to do so in the 2025-2 cycle, which begins in early June.

 

20-BM also began hosting users on a limited basis during the last cycle, and will transition to general user operations in the summer run.

9-BM received first light on Feb 19th. We will transition to scientific commissioning during the next cycle, and expect to run user samples in this phase.

Artificial Intelligence Enabled Advanced X-ray Spectroscopy in the APS-U Era 

  

Argonne applying artificial intelligence methods to achieve real-time data interpretation to steer experiments. 

  

Multi-modal characterization techniques will dramatically accelerate materials research and discovery; however, this development will result in the generation of significant quantities of data. Specifically, the advanced concept of simultaneous multimodal X-ray microprobe measurements (X-ray fluorescence, emission, and diffraction) for APS-U enhancement beamline 25-ID, will achieve full structural, chemical, and compositional information in an X-ray image with micron resolution over cm length scales...
