Because of the evolving COVID-19 situation and a shelter-in-place order for the Bay Area, the ALS is closed to most users until further notice. We have canceled the September 2020 call for proposals. Please do not register to arrive for the 2020-1 cycle unless we ask you to. Refer to our COVID-19 page for more information on beamtime scheduling and allocation. Read more »
