Abstract

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is a synchrotron X-ray facility located at Argonne National Laboratory that has been in operation since 1996. An extensive upgrade to replace the original APS electron storage ring with a state-of-the-art machine was recently completed. The ~1,100-meter circumference storage ring generates X-rays up to 500 times brighter than those created by the original APS. With the new ring completed, focus has shifted to the upgrade and realignment of X-ray beamlines. This presentation will report the progress of the APS Upgrade project and share survey and alignment results for accelerator module assembly and installation, highlighting the metrology methods utilized in building the new storage ring.
