Organization

The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science synchrotron X-ray user facility. Researchers from universities, industry, and national labs access beamlines through peer-reviewed user proposals to collect high-energy X-ray scattering, spectroscopy, and imaging data.

Access status

Relationship to DePaul

DePaul researchers and students participate as APS users—not through a separate DePaul-owned beamline. Physics and materials research at DePaul includes local instrumentation development (see CSH-007) intended to de-risk experiments before deployment at synchrotron facilities. Grant narratives reference APS beamline 7-ID as an external experimental endpoint for funded beamline-instrumentation workflows.

DePaul holds a validated University–Argonne User Agreement (curator-verified; private document to be uploaded with restricted permissions) that covers Argonne's user facilities — including APS, the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), and the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (EXT-004). Note that this agreement does not cover every Argonne facility: ATLAS (EXT-012), for example, is a separate Argonne sub-facility reached through a different pathway. A national laboratory is a large organization whose sub-facilities may be accessed via different agreements and contacts.
