✨ Every year, thousands of scientists from universities, laboratories, and private companies around the world use our cutting-edge research facilities. Their discoveries benefit a wide range of fields, including materials and energy sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, environmental science, engineering, astronomy, and physics. The annual SSRL/LCLS Users' Meeting is a unique opportunity to gather the light source community in a single scientific event that includes numerous presentations in the plenary, poster, and parallel sessions. Participants can learn about current/future facility capabilities and the latest user research and discuss science with colleagues from academia, research laboratories, and industry worldwide. 🌱 Come join us! Registration is now open: https://bit.ly/3Y3cBaq

I recently interviewed LCLS X-ray Free-Electron Laser Director, Mike Dunne, about LCLS-II commissioning & future upgrades. LCLS-II uses a new 700-m superconducting linear accelerator, eventually enabling a ~1 MHz repetition rate, compared to the 120 Hz of LCLS-I. Additional upgrades include LCLS-II HE (High Energy), a superconducting electron gun called LEI (Low Emittance Injector), upgrades to the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) instrument — which is focused on fusion science, plasma science, and high-energy-density science — and the big LCLS upgrade, LCLS-X. LCLS-X will exploit the HE and LEI upgrades, expand from the present two undulators to ten undulators, and feed dozens of instruments at a time rather than just a couple. https://lnkd.in/gCGjs7ci

🏅 Congratulations to SLAC Professor Emerita Helen Quinn, who has won the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze's Matteucci Medal! Quinn is noted for her work in theoretical physics concerning axions and puzzles in the Standard Model of particle physics. She is the fourth woman ever to receive the prize, which was first awarded in the nineteenth century. Read more: https://bit.ly/3y1xhVy

Less than one month to go until the Integrated Chemical Imaging workshop! Register to attend from the comfort of your own office or home and tune in on Aug. 12-13: https://bit.ly/4d1hqFq This workshop focuses on how to integrate microstructural and microscale chemical information using multiple techniques, and implementing such data in Earth system model development. Hosted by the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Last week, after visiting the Advanced Light Source, Ryan Baumbach and I went across the bay to get to know the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. It was an equally exciting and impressive visit and I am grateful to John Sarrao for hosting us and giving us this opportunity to learn about current and future plans for LCLS, LCLS-II (and LCLS-II-HE) and SSRL, and strategies to deal with future demands for data and computing. Many thanks also go to Andrea Reed for the flawless organization of the visit! We enjoyed the fantastic discussions with Bob Schoenlein, Christopher Tassone, Leilani C., Carla Laasch, Jana Thayer, and John Schmerge. It was particularly interesting to talk to some of the junior staff members as well and learn about their work on imaging, spectroscopy, protein crystallography and quantum materials research. Molleigh Preefer, Ailiena Maggiolo and Vivek Thampy (We spoke to some more but I couldn’t remember all the names). As a bonus, I had a very interesting exchange with Jennifer Fowlie on helimagnets after my seminar. I would like to thank all of you for this great visit! And also thanks to James Cryan for the nice SLAC Photon Science Seminar Mug!

I am very excited to share my position at Stanford University's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as a software engineer intern! This summer I'm collaborating with an amazing team to translate economic experimental projects to an accessible programming language. Thank you to the SAGE Journey (Science Accelerating Girl's Engagement Program) for this internship opportunity and community since 2020. I look forward to learning with the GISMo team (Grid Integration Systems and Mobility). #stanforduniversity #SLAC #SAGEjourney #departmentofenergy
