Periodic news and updates about 11-BM and powder diffraction at the APS

New Partnership for Complementary NPD & SXPD Access at DOE User Facilities November 2012

A new partnership between Argonne (ANL) and Oak Ridge (ORNL) National Laboratories will promote complementary synchrotron & neutron diffraction science. Approved ORNL Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) users of the POWGEN neutron powder diffraction (NPD) beamline may now obtain streamlined access to high-resolution synchrotron diffraction (SXPD) data on the same samples at beamline 11-BM of the Advanced Photon Source. Because of the distinct elemental sensitivity of x-ray and neutron probes in powder diffraction, many systems benefit enormously from a complementary study exploiting both. The combined analysis of these two datasets often can reveal subtle structural details and understanding far beyond that possible with a single measurement. Contact beamline staff [email protected] or [email protected] for more details.

Rapid Acquisition Powder Diffraction Program Relocates to Beamline 17-BM September 2012

The APS X-ray Science Division is pleased to announce an enhancement to powder diffraction capabilities at the Advanced Photon Source. Effective from the 2012-3 cycle, the rapid acquisition (or ‘area detector’) powder diffraction program, formerly at beamline 1-BM, has relocated to beamline 17-BM.

  • Summer 2012: New Streamlined Process for Rapid Access Proposals

The format of the proposal for mail-in rapid access measurement requests at 11-BM has been revised. The new format features a single abstract section, and is intended to expedite and simplify the process for everyone, including users, reviewers, and staff. Rapid access requests are now reviewed by staff AND a international committee of external experts; the target review time is ~ 1 week. Read more: http://11bm.xray.aps.anl.gov/GUPguide0.html


  • January 2012: Prolific 11-BM users publish more than 50 papers in 2011

Thanks to the hard work of beamline staff and users, 11-BM's growing user community sets a new record for the total number of user publications in a year. 11-BM is becoming one of the most productive APS instruments, with many high impact quality publications incorporating 11-BM powder diffraction data!

  • Fall 2011: Beamline Videos on 11-BM YouTube Channel

11-BM launches a YouTube channel. Tune in for videos highlighting the instrument, and 'how-to' videos on sample preparation and related relevant topics. See: http://www.youtube.com/user/s11bm/videos Italic text
