| Abstract Scope |
Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS) and Nuclear Resonant Scattering (NRS) have been important programs at Advanced Photon Source (APS) for more than 25 years. Information acquired from these techniques such as dispersive curves, density of states, sound velocities, phonon electron couplings, hyperfine interactions, magnetic phase transitions and melting of materials has great impact on scientific research, complimentary to diffractions and other spectroscopy methods. With the ongoing APS storage ring upgrade, we expect these programs to expend in performance and scope, especially for applications on extreme conditions using smaller beam size introduced by the upgrade. Detailed upgrades will be described for these beamlines, and future perspectives on the user program will be given in the talk. |
