402 Lower Gallery refreshments and celebration

Monday, April 17 is a major milestone in the history of the APS. After 28 years of collaboration with the global science community on groundbreaking and impactful research, we are closing our X-ray beamlines and bidding a temporary farewell to our external users. When we welcome those scientific colleagues back in 2024, it will be to a brand-new APS, with new capabilities to explore.

2023 APS SMS/CONUSS workshop

The Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, is organizing a three-day in-person workshop on SMS and CONUSS software. The workshop will introduce the SMS techniques and related beamline capabilities to participants. Extensive hands-on training on spectra interpretation using the software CONUSS will be conducted by its author, Dr. Wolfgang Sturhahn. The workshop is a great opportunity for students and early career scientists to become familiar with CONUSS and discuss specific aspects of SMS data interpretation.
