| Abstract Scope |
The characteristics of synchrotron radiation sources – a high flux of high energy photons in a highly parallel beam – make them an indispensable tool for the study of materials at extreme conditions. Each generational improvement in synchrotron sources has opened up new and extended research avenues in high-pressure science. In this presentation I will highlight some key improvements to the Advanced Photon Source (APS) as it is upgraded to a latest-generation synchrotron source – characterized by the use of a multi-bend achromat lattice – and how these improvements will significantly improve the spatial and temporal resolution accessible for high-pressure research at HPCAT (High Pressure Collaborative Access Team, Sector 16, APS). I will review recent results from HPCAT users which approach the limits of the current spatial and temporal resolution of the 3rd generation source, and explore future opportunities expected to follow the concurrent APS and HPCAT upgrades. |
