THE ADVANCED PHOTON SOURCE UPGRADE IS IN PROGRESS
The Advanced Photon Source is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade to replace its original electron storage ring with a new, state-of-the-art accelerator. This will increase the brightness of APS X-ray beams by up to 500 times, and new beamlines will be constructed to take advantage of these improved capabilities. The facility will be closed for operations during this time.
Visit the APS Upgrade webpage for information about the project’s progress and future science at the facility. We look forward to completing the project and welcoming our users back to the APS this year.

APS/User News
The upgraded Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility located at Argonne National Laboratory, is now the world’s first synchrotron light source to use a multi-bunch swap-out method of replenishing the electron beam in its storage ring.
APS/User News
Almost exactly a year ago, we shut down the Advanced Photon Source (APS) to begin removing the original electron storage ring and installing the new one we were still in the process of building. In this past year, our team accomplished a remarkable amount.
