ALS-U Takes Center Stage at User Meeting
The ALS upgrade project (ALS-U) was a focus of this year’s User Meeting, beginning with Laboratory Director Mike Witherell’s announcement that ALS-U has received mission need approval, the first critical milestone in the DOE approval process. Several talks and workshops focused on the engineering aspects of the upgrade and science opportunities it will enable. Read more »
David Robin Named ALS-U Project Director; Fernando Sannibale Becomes ALS Division Deputy for Accelerator Operations and Development
David Robin of the Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics Division (ATAP) has been named project director of the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U). Fernando Sannibale, presently the principal investigator of the Advanced Photoinjector Experiment at LBNL, will take Robin’s place as leader of the ongoing ALS Accelerator Physics program in ATAP and will also serve as the ALS Division Deputy for Accelerator Operations and Development.

ALS-U Receives DOE Mission-Need Approval
On September 27, the ALS received news that the Department of Energy (DOE) has approved the mission need (also known as critical decision zero, or CD-0) for the ALS Upgrade (ALS-U). Read more »
Peering Into Batteries: X-Rays Reveal Lithium-Ion’s Mysteries
Researchers are using the Office of Science’s advanced light sources, including the ALS, to understand why and when lithium-ion batteries in phones, plug-in electric vehicles, and other applications lose charge or fail. Read more »
Transformational X-Ray Project Takes a Step Forward
DOE has confirmed the need for a unique source of X-ray light that would produce beams up to 1,000 times brighter than are now possible at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source, enabling new explorations of chemical reactions, battery performance, biological processes and exotic materials.

ALS Engineers Resolve Power Supply Failure, Bring ALS Back Online
On Thursday, July 28, the power supply to the ALS booster bend magnets failed. Over the course of nearly six days, more than 20 ALS staff worked long hours to resolve the failure and get the ALS back online. Read more »
Ambient Pressure XPS and IRRAS Investigation of Ethanol Steam Reforming on Nickel–Ceria Catalysts
Ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (AP-IRRAS) have been used to elucidate the active sites and mechanistic steps associated with the ethanol steam reforming reaction (ESR) over Ni–CeO2(111) model catalysts. Read more »
