SRC News, Events, and Announcements
The Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) is calling for proposals on experiments with synchrotron radiation in the 5-4000 eV photon energy range and in the infrared. Deadline for submitting beam time proposals is February 15.
SRC Research Experience for Undergraduates (SRC-REU)
Undegraduates looking for an summer undergraduate research experience at the SRC are encouraged to apply to our SRC-REU program. The program runs from June 1 through August 7, 2010. An online application will be available starting November 16. Deadline for applying to the program is February 15, 2010.
In any electronic device, charges must be transported through materials. The underlying mechanism of this charge transport was first discussed in the early 1950s, and continues to puzzle theoreticians today. Full Story
Variable Polarization Beamline
During the April 2009 Development week, installation of a new variable polarization, VLS PGM beamline was completed with placement of an elliptically polarized Apple II undulator (EPU) in one of these spaces in the northeast corner of Aladdin. And after several months of testing and measurements, the beamline is now going through its first testing by users. Full Story
The SRC and Carol Hirschmugl (UW-Milwaukee) have designed, constructed and commissioned a new mid-infrared beamline (IRENI), enabling the opportunity to obtain chemical images with diffraction-limited (or better) resolution in minutes. To learn more about the project, see www.src.wisc.edu/IRENI.
Wisconsin Free Electron Laser (WiFEL) Project
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, in collaboration with MIT, is exploring the feasibility and design of a next generation light source and the broad range of science and technology that it would enable.
Information about the project including workshops held on machine design and feasible science is available on the WiFEL website.
