Beamline Schedules
Schedules for individual beamlines are posted in the ALS Scheduler.
Upcoming Long Shutdowns
The current long shutdown began on July 5, 2023, and is scheduled to last 12 weeks, with user operations resuming on September 28, 2023.
Over the next two years, shutdowns will be longer than in recent years to allow the installation of the new accumulator ring, which is required to inject beam into the storage ring of the upgraded ALS, and the replacement of aging infrastructure in our 30-year-old facility in preparation for the new storage ring’s installation. In general, long shutdowns are expected to begin at the start of January and July and last ~13 weeks.
Answers to frequently asked questions on the long-term schedule can be found here.
