ALS Computing Group Brings Machine Learning Models to Beamtimes around the World
The ALS computing team is developing tools to help users make the most of their beamtime and eliminate bottlenecks that currently exist. They have been traveling around the world and collaborating across facilities to develop advanced data processing solutions that will yield more meaningful data. Read more »
ATLAS Masterclass Visits the ALS
In late April, the Berkeley Lab Physics Division hosted an ATLAS masterclass for high school students where they could learn about high energy and particle physics and analyze real data from the ATLAS detector at the LHC at CERN. For on-site participants, the day included a tour of the ALS. Read more »
Researchers from NASA Ames Visit the ALS
On May 7, a team from NASA Ames Research Center visited Berkeley Lab. Dimitri Argyriou and Ashley White gave them a tour of the ALS, where they learned about heat shield work in support of the Artemis II crewed lunar flyby mission and other space-related research at the ALS. Read more »
2024 #LightSourceSelfieDay
To celebrate the 20th birthday of Lightsources.org, people working at synchrotron light sources were invited to post a selfie at a light source on social media on May 20th with the hashtag #LightSourceSelfieDay. A number of people from the ALS joined in. Read more »
Winter 2024 Shutdown Recap
The ALS is back in user operation after more than two months of shutdown. Major achievements include the mechanical installation for the new booster bend power supplies and the two power supplies for the accumulator ring radio frequency system. Read more »
LAAAMP-Funded Team Makes a Journey of Miles and Nanometers
Celline Awino Omondi and Miller Shatsala traveled over 9,400 miles to study samples at the nanometer scale. Through a LAAAMP grant, the Kenyan scientists spent two months at Berkeley Lab preparing and characterizing perovskite samples—work that they hope will bring solar energy to Africa. Read more »
2023 Summer Shutdown Recap
The ALS is back in user operations after a 12-week summer shutdown. Most of the shutdown work centered around ALS-U tasks, including installing a full arc sector of the accumulator ring. Read more »
HyMARC Aims to Hit Targets for Hydrogen Storage Using X-Ray Science
Understanding how materials absorb and release hydrogen is the focus of the Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC). At the ALS, the HyMARC Approved Program was recently renewed, underscoring the key role that soft x-ray techniques have played in addressing the challenges of hydrogen storage. Read more »
