APS User Executive Committee (UEC) members have a unique perspective on the scientific output of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and are a tremendous resource for helping users and potential users understand the kinds of science questions one could investigate using the facility’s ultrabright X-ray beams. Specific technical aspects of the experiment you plan to conduct, such as experimental details and techniques, should always be directed to the appropriate beamline scientist. However, UEC members have a wealth of scientific experience to draw from in using the APS, and they can help other researchers shape their thinking about what’s possible in synchrotron science.
