APS Upgrade Project

The beamlines harness the power of the new storage ring to facilitate quantum and materials science innovations.

These discoveries can lead to more robust and efficient technologies.

The Polaris, Frontier and Perlmutter supercomputers are joining forces with Argonne’s upgraded X-ray source to transform how experiments are run.

The brighter and more coherent X-ray beams of the upgraded APS will allow more precise studies of fickle quantum behavior.

The new measurement confirms the world-leading status of the APS as it continues scientific operations following a shutdown for a comprehensive upgrade.

Schmidt has been recognized for his contributions to mechanical engineering and beamline science.

After a yearlong installation, light has returned to the world-leading Advanced Photon Source. Users across a gamut of disciplines, from materials to planetary science, are getting their research proposals ready.
