The atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics group explores the frontiers of X-ray science and lays the foundation for X-ray applications in other scientific domains.

The AWA high intensity witness electron beam is generated by a photocathode RF gun, operating at 1.3GHz.

The magnet allows for the measurement and calibration of the experiment’s custom-built probes, as it provides not only a strong field but one that is uniform and stable.

Special features of this linear accelerator include the available high charge per bunch and delivery of bunch trains.

Scientists around the world rely on particle accelerators to yield insights on the structure and function of materials at and below the atomic scale.

Our accelerator development group conducts a broad range of accelerator R&D to advance technologies for future DOE facilities and other applications.

The Accelerator Development Group operates and maintains a facility for testing accelerator devices.

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a powerful method for the measurement of very low abundance nuclei even in a background of much stronger isobars.

The Accelerator Physics Group carries out research to enable the next generation of particle accelerators.

Accelerator Development in Argonne’s Physics Division specializes in the design, fabrication and commissioning of high-intensity ion and electron accelerator systems

The Accelerator Systems Division provides best-in-class operation, maintenance and upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source accelerators and support users in doing outstanding science in a safe environment.

AML will assist the nuclear community in examining radioactive samples at the High-Energy X-ray Microscope (HEXM) and other beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source.

Additive manufacturing offers a new paradigm for engineering design and manufacturing by enabling unique macro-structural design of components and micro-structural design of the material.

Architecting the future

The Advanced Electrolyte Research Group seeks to develop new organic materials for next-generation electrochemical energy storage, such as electrolyte solvents, lithium salts, SEI formation additives, redox-active organic electrodes and polymer materials.

EPR spectroscopy is an indispensable technique for investigating the chemical, biochemical and catalytic reactions in systems containing unpaired electron spins.

We are solving the most critical challenges related to energy, mobility, materials and manufacturing with world-class scientific and engineering expertise and facilities.

With the electric power grid becoming more complex and dynamic, the development of advanced tools and technology for decision makers is vital for a more reliable and efficient power grid.
