ADVANCED PHOTON SOURCE — LIGHTING THE WAY TO A BETTER TOMORROW Frontier science serving the national interest and positively impacting nearly every aspect of our lives

THE APS ENABLES RESEARCH IN NEARLY EVERY SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE ☐ ☐ Chemical science ☐ Environmental, geological, and planetary science ☐ Physics ☐ Polymer science ☐ Biological and life science ☐ Pharmaceutical research ☐ Nanoscale research

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s (DOE-SC’s) Advanced The APS Upgrade will provide Photon Source (APS) gives scientists access to high-energy, high-brightness, researchers with a next-generation highly-penetrating x-ray beams that are ideal for studying the arrangements tool to probe structure and function of molecules and atoms, probing the interfaces where materials meet, across length, time, and energy determining the interdependent form and function of biological proteins, scales, extending the U.S. global and watching chemical processes that happen on the nanoscale. leadership in hard x-ray science for This remarkable scientific tool helps of these institutions and companies decades to come. researchers illuminate answers to invest millions of dollars to equip NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING the challenges of our world, from APS x-ray . The APS facility RESEARCH developing new forms of energy to houses x-ray-producing technologies The recipients of the 2009 Nobel sustaining our nation’s technological that comprise one of the most Prize in Chemistry published papers and economic competitiveness to complex machines in the world, on their award-worthy work based on pushing back against the ravages of the result of innovative research data collected at DOE x-ray disease. The DOE confidently invests and development carried out by light sources: the APS, the National in world-leading research centers scientists, engineers, and technicians Light Source (Brookhaven such as the APS and the other SC from Argonne, other institutions, National Laboratory), and the user facilities because of the positive and industry. Advanced Light Source (Lawrence impacts from the science carried out APS UPGRADE Berkeley National Laboratory). The on behalf of our nation and the world. A new effort, the APS Upgrade 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for discoveries based in Thousands of researchers from Project, will deliver an orders of large part on research at the APS. universities, industries, and research magnitude increase in x-ray labs in all 50 states, the District of brightness and coherent flux, CONTACT Columbia, Puerto Rico, and foreign combining a state-of-the-art Richard Fenner countries come to the APS.
