Participating Research Teams (PRTs) are groups of researchers from one or more institutions that construct and operate beamlines and have primary responsibility for experiment endstation equipment. They are entitled to a percentage of the beamline’s operating time based on the resources the PRT contributes to the beamline. For information on joining a PRT, contact the appropriate PRT spokesperson as listed below.
