Assembling the Grand Tube at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne

Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center where talented scientists and engineers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity. One of the tools helping them to do that is the Advanced Photon Source (APS). In a typical year, the APS hosts around 5,500 scientists from around the world who use the powerful X-rays to see deep inside materials. This research lives on to help build stronger materials for roads and bridges, develop next-generation batteries and solar cells, and fight infectious diseases. With nearly 30 years of operation, the APS is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. The new APS will generate X-ray beams that are up to 500 times brighter, which will allow scientists to examine even tinier objects at ultra-high resolution. As an example, with electronic devices getting smaller and smaller, the need for sharp images of those devices on smaller scales has become more important. In addition to brighter beams, the upgraded APS will have several new experiment stations (called beamlines) to make use of that ultrabright light. The Grand Tube is a 70-foot-long enclosure built for one of those beamlines. It will enable a new X-ray technique called Coherent Surface Scattering Imaging (CSSI) that will allow scientists to image extremely small materials in three dimensions, on previously unattainable scales. Scientists will use the Grand Tube to create new materials for solar cells and to improve the next generation of micro- and nanoelectronic devices. This video shows the arrival and assembly of the Grand Tube at Argonne National Laboratory. For more information on the APS Upgrade ►► https://www.anl.gov/aps-upgrade.
