APS Upgrade Project

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.

The new measurement confirms the world-leading status of the APS as it returns to operation following a shutdown for a comprehensive upgrade.

The revamped facility is a strong investment in the future of science and innovation.

After a year of installation and commissioning, the new electron storage ring at the heart of the Advanced Photon Source — powered by a world’s first injection technique — is ready for business.
