Starting with the APS 2025-1 run next year BioCAT will be resuming user operations. After the long dark period for the APS upgrade (APS-U) project, we are very excited to be welcoming you back to the facility early next year. If you are interested in beam time next run, please contact the appropriate beamline scientist: Dr. Weikang Ma for muscle/fiber diffraction and either of Drs. Max Watkins and Jesse Hopkins for solution SAXS.
We also invite you to join us on January 10th at 1 pm CST for a virtual Town Hall where we will discuss the upgrade’s effects on BioCAT, new capabilities that we’ve added during the dark period, and remind you about the process for getting beamtime at BioCAT. The tentative schedule is:
| 1:00 pm | Opening remarks - Dr. Tom Irving, BioCAT PI |
| 1:05 pm | Overview of APS-U and effects on BioCAT - Dr. Jesse Hopkins, BioCAT Deputy Director |
| 1:20 pm | Upgraded and new capabilities for solution SAXS - Dr. Max Watkins, BioCAT Beamline Scientist |
| 1:35 pm | Obtaining beamtime at BioCAT - Dr. Jesse Hopkins, BioCAT Deputy Director |
| 1:50 pm | Q&A |
A Zoom link will be sent to our mailing list the week of the Town Hall. You can sign up here.
