CENTER FOR ADVANCED RADIATION SOURCES (CARS)

The Center for Advanced Radiation Sources (CARS) is a center within The
University of Chicago that manages the operation of three sectors comprising 7
beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a high-brilliance synchrotron
X-ray source at Argonne National Laboratory.  Our cutting-edge facilities are
available to scientists worldwide.

DOSIMETERS REQUIRED ON APS EXPERIMENTAL HALL



DOSIMETERS ARE REQUIRED ON THE EXPERIMENT FLOOR, AND EVERYONE ACCESSING THE
FLOOR MUST HAVE UP-TO-DATE GERT CERTIFICATION. SOME AREAS OF THE FLOOR MAY STILL
BE CONSIDERED RADIATION AREAS. ACCESS MAY BE RESTRICTED TO THOSE AREAS FOR AN
UNDETERMINED PERIOD. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND FOLLOW LOCAL SIGNAGE.

OUR MISSION

The Center carries out these functions:

 * Operates APS Sectors 13, 14, and 15.  These three national user facilities
   together have a user base in excess of 2,500 researchers.
   * Sector 13: GSECARS
   * Sector 14: BioCARS
   * Sector 15: NSF’s ChemMatCARS
 * Maintains a core staff for beamline research and development, collaboration,
   and user support.

Research and development is focused in two areas:

 * Design of novel optical components, such as x-ray monochromators, mirrors,
   shutters, slits, windows and beam stops.
 * Development of new experimental strategies in such areas as high-speed data
   acquisition and reduction and x-ray phase determination.

Operations are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institutes
of Health, and the National Science Foundation.

The Center operates as an interdisciplinary resource that includes an extensive
central design and technology team.  We believe that the best science is carried
out in an interdisciplinary mode and that the substantial design and
technological problems each discipline faces are best addressed in a central,
cooperative manner.
