Organization

Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is a Korean national accelerator laboratory operating synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser user facilities. Sub-facilities include the Pohang Light Source (PLS) and PAL-XFEL.

Access status

• Level: yellow (Negotiated Access)
• Rationale: International PAL user facilities (PLS, PAL-XFEL); beamtime via PAL proposals and collaborator networks; DePaul coordinates through ORS for sponsored research travel/agreements as needed.
• Access URL: offices.depaul.edu/research-services/Pages/default.aspx
• Contact name: Office of Research Services
• Contact email: ors@depaul.edu
• Verification date: 2026-07-01
• Source URLs:
• www.pal.postech.ac.kr

Relationship to DePaul

DePaul Physics ultrafast/x-ray research (e.g. CSH-007, faculty lead Eric Landahl) documents experiments at PAL sub-facilities in peer-reviewed publications. DePaul does not operate beamlines at PAL; access is through standard user-facility programs.

Known collaborations & connections

• Time-resolved x-ray scattering instrument demonstration at the Pohang Light Source (DOI 10.1063/1.4943304).
• Connected DePaul resources: CSH-005, CSH-007.

Verification

• Status: likely (~)
• Confidence: 78/100
• Rationale: Parent org for Korean synchrotron/XFEL user facilities used by DePaul ultrafast physics research.
• Last verified: 2026-07-01
• Evidence:
• PAL official website https://www.pal.postech.ac.kr/
• Publication PUB-003 documents DePaul-affiliated work at Pohang Light Source

Equipment

Korean national accelerator lab; synchrotron/XFEL beamlines not DePaul inventory.
