The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratoryprovides this nation's (in fact, this hemisphere's) brightest storage ring-generated x-ray beams for research in almost all scientific disciplines. These x-rays allow scientists to pursue new knowledge about the structure and function of materials in the center of the Earth and in outer space, and all points in between. The knowledge gained from this research can impact the evolution of combustion engines and microcircuits, aid in the development of new pharmaceuticals, and pioneer nanotechnologies whose scale is measured in billionths of a meter, to name just a few examples. These studies promise to have far-reaching impact on our technology, economy, health, and our fundamental knowledge of the materials that make up our world. The APS electron accelerator and storage system are the first critical steps in producing the high-energy x-rays that are used for frontier research.

The ATLAS facility is a leading facility for nuclear structure research in the United States. It provides a wide range of beams for nuclear reaction and structure research to a large community of users from the US and abroad. The full range of all stable ions can be produced in ECR ion sources, accelerated in the world?s first superconducting linear accelerator for ions to energies of 7-17 MeV per nucleon and delivered to one of several target stations. About 20% of the beam-time is used to generate secondary radioactive beams. These beams are used mostly to study nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest and for nuclear structure investigations. Users of ATLAS take advantage of the existing experimental equipment such as, for example, the Canadian Penning Trap (CPT), the Fragment Mass Analyzer (FMA), the magnetic spectrograph and Gammasphere. Beam lines are also available for experiments where Users bring their own equipment. The Physics support group is available to assist the Users in all preparations for their measurements.

With heavily instrumented field sites around the globe, the ARM Climate Research Facility provides the world's most comprehensive outdoor laboratory and data archive for research related to atmospheric processes that affect Earth's climate system. The ARM Facility provides continuous data collections from fixed locations as well as sponsoring mobile and aerial facility deployments in under-sampled regions. ARM hosts on average more than 40 field campaigns a year and has over 6000 registered users at the ARM Data Archive from nearly every state and from more than 30 countries. Data from ARM are cited in approximately 200 journal articles per year.

P: 630-252-2629E: burrell@anl.govSecurity Clearance : Non Security LabSquare Footage: 0 Post-test diagnostics of aged batteries can provide additional information regarding the cause of performance degradation, which, previously, could be only inferred from the changes in electrochemical performance data. The results from physical, spectroscopic, metallographic, electrochemical tests will be used to characterize the physical and chemical changes which occurred during the aging process. Conclusions from these results can aid in the further improvement of a given technology by showing where work may need to be done. The experience and techniques developed in DOE?s applied battery R&D program are used in a standardized fashion, similar to the performance test protocols, making comparisons of failure modes within a given technology and perhaps, across technologies easier. The Facility is available to help DOE?s battery programs and to help industrial battery developers better understand life-limiting mechanisms specific to their technology. The facility is supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Vehicle Technologies, Hybrid and Electric Systems.

These evaluations have been performed for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), government and industry consortia, and industrial developers to provide insight into the factors that limit the performance and life of advanced battery systems. Such evaluations help battery developers and DOE evaluate technical progress, and aid DOE in R&D decision-making. The EADL is an extensive facility designed to test large numbers of both small and large batteries designed within and outside of Argonne National Laboratory. It has the capability to conduct >240 concurrent advanced battery studies under operating conditions that simulate electric-vehicle (EV), electric-hybrid vehicle (HEV), utility load-leveling, and standby/uninterruptible power source applications. Each battery is independently defined, controlled and monitored to impose charging regimes and discharge load profiles that simulate the types of dynamic operating conditions found during actual use. The facility is supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Vehicle Technologies, Hybrid and Electric Systems.
