This timelapse video shows the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source (APS) rising from an empty field at Argonne National Laboratory to become the source of the Western Hemisphere's brightest x-rays for research. The video was compiled from still photographs taken from 1990-1996.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) currently under construction at Argonne National Laboratory is scheduled for completion in early 1996. Both conventional facilities construction and technical fabrication is well underway. An update on the current state of civil construction as well as progress on storage ring and beamline technical component development will be presented. User activities have also proceeded at a rapid pace, particularly over the last year. In response to a call for Proposals for sectors, the APS received proposals for over twenty sectors from prospective Collaborative Access Teams (CATs). It is anticipated that beamline construction in the experiment hall could begin in approximately 18 months.

Currently the Advanced Photon Source (APS) is under construction at the Argonne National Laboratory. The APS is a 7-GeV synchrotron light source which will be used for basic research in material science, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine to name a few of the participating disciplines. The commissioning phase for the APS is planned to start at the beginning of 1995. This paper describes the general parameters of the Advanced Photon Source, the required survey and alignment tolerances, and the alignment concept and instrumentation used to position storage ring beam components.

The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is a third-generation light source built in the 1990s. Like the machine itself, the Main Control Room (MCR) employs design concepts based on today's requirements. The discussion will center on ideas used in the design of the MCR, the comfort of personnel using the design, and safety concerns integrated into the control room layout.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS), which is currently under construction as a national user facility at Argonne National Laboratory is a third-generation synchrotron x-ray source, one of only three in the world. It is expected to produce x-rays that are 10,000 times brighter than any currently produced elsewhere for use in research in a wide range of scientific areas. Users from industry, national laboratories, universities, and business will be able to come to the APS to conduct research either as members of Collaborative Access Teams (CATS) or as Independent Investigators. Principal users will be members of CATS, which will be building and operating all of the beamlines present in the first phase of APS beamline development. The first set of CATs has been selected through a competitive proposal process involving peer scientific review, thorough technical evaluation, and significant management oversight by the APS. This document is a compilation of posters presented at the Fifth Users Meeting for the Advanced Photon Source, held at Argonne National Laboratory on October 14--15, 1992. All CATs whose scientific cases were approved by the APS Proposal Evaluation Board are included. In addition, this document contains a poster from the Center for Synchrotron Radiation and Research and Instrumentation at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Facility construction is presented for the conventional facilities, central laboratory/Office building, and the user residence facility. Accelerator systems are described in terms of commissioning and control system hardware. Insertion devices, front-end components, and monochromators are depicted in the experimental facilities. The operating energy and beam stability are discussed in terms of operations objectives. Collaborative access teams efforts are presented for the memoranda of understanding, CAT funding, and foreign participation in research at APS.
