AAI Facilities | Argonne National Laboratory

Much of the research of Argonne National Laboratory, and indeed the scientific community at large depends on the accelerator based tools at Argonne.

National User Facility

Advanced Photon Source

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory provides ultra-bright, high-energy storage ring-generated X-ray beams for research in almost all scientific disciplines.

National User Facility

Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System

The prime national facility for nuclear structure research, the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) is the world’s first superconducting linear accelerator for heavy ions at energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier.

Research Facility

Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility

The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) is a premier electron accelerator with the world’s highest bunch charge to carry out fundamental accelerator research with an emphasis on wakefield acceleration.

Research Facility

Low-Energy Accelerator Facility

A 50 MeV/25 kW electron linear accelerator producing a wide range of radioisotopes for medical, national security, basic science and industrial applications.
