== Minutes and Documents from the High Energy Materials Diffraction Beamline Advisory Group ==

The High Energy Materials Diffraction [[Beamline Advisory Group|BAG]] advises the MC group leader and APS management on instruments and infrastructure related to high energy x-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM) and high-energy wide-angle and small-angle diffraction of materials and biomaterials,
work primarily done at 1-ID. The membership of this committee can be found on the appropriate [http://www.aps.anl.gov/Xray_Science_Division/xor_committees.html XSD web page].

=== July -- August 2009: Phase-II 1-ID upgrade ===

The HEMD BAG was sent on July 23
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/2/22/HEdiffBAGemail2009Jul23.pdf (view e-mail)]
a short outline/justification [http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/0/03/HEdiffBAG_1ID_upgrade2009Jul23.pdf (view here)]
for the proposed Phase-II upgrade of 1-ID.

The same proposal was also sent to the [[Structural Characterization]] BAG on Aug 5
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/5/54/CrystBAG_1ID_email2009Aug5.pdf (view e-mail)]. The chair stated in response "I am certainly in favor of the proposed construction of a new hucth so that each of the major programs at 1-ID can have dedicated space and keep their setups in place and optimized. There will clearly be benefits for all of the high energy programs at 1-ID. Repeatedly tearing down setups and rebuilding them is a waste of time and leads to less than optimal experiments."

The HEMD BAG discussed this proposal privately and responded with a three page memo
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/c/cd/HED_BAG_Murray.pdf (view memo)]
in support of the upgrade
that was sent by e-mail on Aug 7 to APS management

=== February 2011: Sector 1 Upgrade Science Case ===
Members of the HEDM BAG were instrumental in writing the Science Case for the Sector 1 Upgrade. Bob Suter led the effort. The Science case document can be found at [https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/3/36/S1_sci_case9.pdf (view document)]

=== June 2011: High Energy X-ray / Mechanics Workshop ===
Two BAG members (Miller and Suter) along with U. Lienert received an NSF grant to host a workshop that will focus on the use of HE X-rays and solid mechanics to understand complex materials. The URL for the workshop can be found at [http://www.aps.anl.gov/News/Conferences/2011/HEXD-MM/ (view here)]. It will be held at APS in October, 2011.

The Structural Characterization [[Beamline Advisory Group|BAG]] advises the MPE/SS group leaders and APS management on instruments and infrastructure related to structural determination techniques used at 1-BM, 11-BM and at 1-ID. This work is mostly crystallographic structure determination from powder diffraction, but also covers some micro-PDF work, primarily in diamond-anvil pressure cells and some diffuse scattering work.

for the proposed Phase-II upgrade of 1-ID was sent to Structural Characterization BAG on Aug 5
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/5/54/CrystBAG_1ID_email2009Aug5.pdf (view e-mail)]. The chair, Angus Wilkinson, stated in response "I am certainly in favor of the proposed construction of a new hutc

Repeatedly tearing down setups and rebuilding them is a waste of time and leads to less than optimal experiments."
This upgrade is more in the domain of the [[High Energy Materials Diffraction]] BAG, which sent a memo of support to the APS
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/6/6d/HEdiffBAG_MurrayLtr2009Aug7.pdf (view memo)].

=== July 2009: Beamline newsletter ===

A update report was sent to the SC BAG describing news with respect to staffing, beamline upgrades and equipment purchases primarily on 11-BM
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/3/33/CrystBAG_11-BMnews2009Jul17.pdf (view newsletter)].

=== April 2009: BAG Report ===
As a follow-up to the SC BAG meeting in March, the BAG wrote a report
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/c/c1/CrystBAGreport2009Apr13.pdf (view report)].
This noted with pleasure the performance of the beamline at higher energies (~30 keV) and the
engineering and operation of the mail-in diffraction service. Priorities for development were
recommended:
* publicize and expand the mail-in program
* purchase a replacement monochromator bender and crystal
* increase the range of accessible temperatures first below 80K and second above 500 K
* develop an on-site instrument control interface and then an on-site user program for 11-BM
* develop a on-site rapid data collection (area detector) program for materials powder diffraction; augmenting the capabilities of 1-BM would be ideal
* improve energy-change capabilities and extend the usable energy range, but this is of lower priority than the above topics.

=== March 2009: BAG meeting & Beamline newsletter ===
The SC BAG was provided with a summary of accomplishments, work in progress and future tasks (to be prioritized) for 11-BM
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/8/8f/CrystBAGnews2009March.pdf (view document)].
On March 17, a meeting of the SC BAG was held with the 11-BM beamline staff and the BAG was asked to
help set priorities for future work
(a separate meeting was held with one BAG member on March 12 who could not attend March 17).
A presentation
was at the meeting on tests and problems encountered with energy changes on 11-BM
[http://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/xsdbag/images/f/f1/CrystBAGenergychange_study2009March.pdf (view slides)]. This shows why operation much below 15 keV is not possible at present.
