Kathy Harkay was there at the start of the APS, working to determine the limits of what the machine could do. Now she’s working on upgrading the facility, and is looking forward to test-driving the new APS.
Kasa and his colleagues are designing and building superconducting magnets for the upgraded Advanced Photon Source. They operate at far below freezing temperatures and help create world-leading levels of brightness for X-rays.
From designing powerful magnets to engineering a new system to swap electrons at the speed of light, Liu’s fingerprints will be all over the upgraded Advanced Photon Source.
Working with one of the most accomplished X-ray optics teams in the world, Xianbo Shi designs beamline optics that will make science at the upgraded Advanced Photon Source possible.
Principal Mechanical Engineer Dana Capatina is responsible for the design of several of the new experimental stations that will enable many kinds of research after Argonne’s APS is upgraded.
