Synchrotron-Related Theory

Synchrotron-Related Theory (SRT) provides a link between x-ray experiments and materials science and theory. Areas of expertise include x-ray spectroscopy, magnetism, spin transport and strongly-correlated materials. SRT is a joint program supported by Northern Illinois University and the APS.

Beamline Technical Support

Beamline Technical Support maintains an x-ray detector pool to assist APS users with data collection, and an equipment pool to provide various experimental hardware for short-term loan.
Primary Contact: Patricia Fernandez, fernandz@aps.anl.gov

Optics Fabrication and Metrology

Optics Fabrication and Metrology (OFM) operates and develops instruments to fabricate and characterize x-ray optical elements, such as single crystal-monochromators, mirrors, multilayers, and other special substrates. In addition, OFM works with the APS user community to develop new optics for special beamline applications.

User Administration and Support

User Administration and Support (APS User Office) provides direct and indirect administrative and support services to APS and CNM users. Direct services include registration, orientation/training/badging, developing and maintaining user information Web pages, writing and distributing electronic newsletters and other electronic communications, and administering scientific access systems (General and Partner User programs). Indirect services include workshop, conference, and meeting support, (especially for the annual Users Meeting, the quarterly APSUO Steering Committee and Partner Users Council meetings, the annual Scientific Advisory Committee meeting, and Sector Reviews), as well as outreach activities that promote the availability of beam time at the APS.
