The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APSU) has transformed the APS into a 4th generation light source. The new 6 GeV, 200 mA multi-bend achromat (MBA) storage ring, along with injector improvements and new front ends will provide an increased brightness and an orders-of-magnitude improvement in coherent flux over the current facility. To take advantage of these new capabilities, we have...
NMX, the neutron macromolecular crystallography beamline, with its 157m distance between neutron source and sample, is one of the long instruments about to enter into commissioning phase with neutrons at the European Spallation Source in Lund. While the neutron shielding system, 3 chopper disks and more than 150m of finely aligned neutron guide mirrors safely transport a tailored beam to the...
X-ray pump–probe techniques at XFELs have revolutionized ultrafast science by enabling precise control of X-ray pulse pairs with tunable delays. This talk highlights key engineering breakthroughs in LCLS behind two critical methods: magnetic chicane systems and split-and-delay optics. Magnetic chicane systems manipulate electron and photon beams to generate delays up to hundreds of...
Recent outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases have highlighted the need for enhanced biosafety measures and research capabilities. Addressing this, the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials(CNPEM) is spearheading the development of Orion, Latin America’s first facility to host a Biosafety Level 4(BSL4) laboratory$*$. More ambitiously, Orion will pioneer a groundbreaking...
