A new facility for high-pressure research at the Advanced Photon Source
- (
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is a third-generation synchrotron storage ring that became operational in 1996. A national user facility at the APS is being constructed for research in Earth, soil, and environmental sciences by the GeoSoilEnviroCARS (GSECARS) group of the Consortium for Advanced Radiation Sources [CARS]. The GSECARS sector consists of an undulator and a bending magnet beamline, both of which have been designed to allow for a wide range of possible experiments on geological materials. An experimental station on the undulator beamline will be dedicated to high-pressure experiments using a multi-anvil press and diamond anvil cells. Energy-dispersive and monochromatic diffraction experiments will be performed in this and other stations using solid state and two-dimensional detectors. A high-pressure support laboratory is being developed concurrently. The first high-pressure experiments at the GSECARS sector were successfully conducted in December, 1996.
