Her chief responsibility is to ensure that designs meet quality and safety standards.

As the Advanced Photon Source prepares to enter its second user science run of 2025, it’s a good time to look back on the first run of the year.

Scientists working with crystal samples for X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments can now get a little help calculating diffraction angles or d-spacings. BraggPanel (for MacOS) and Bragg Law (for iOS) are free beamline companions that can determine any of the parameters of Bragg’s law from the other two. For example, if you know the energy and d-spacing, then the tool will calculate the angle.

Her leadership enables Argonne to continue pushing the boundaries of accelerator science.
