The APS and HPCAT Upgrades:
Challenges and Opportunities for High Pressure Science
Tuesday-Wednesday-Friday, Jan, 19, 20, and 22, 2021
Location: Virtual format
APS is currently on track and still preparing for an upgrade starting ~mid-2022. The upgrade (APS-U) is a complete rebuild/enhancement of the storage ring and will have a significant impact on most of the APS beamlines and capabilities.
Along these lines, we at HPCAT along with our user community, are preparing accordingly. In order to make sure that we are taking full advantage of an enhanced APS-U, while meeting our user community needs, we are organizing an HPCAT-Upgrade (HPCAT-U) workshop.
The goal of the workshop is to communicate the current status and scope of APS-U, as well as the ongoing plans for HPCAT-U. The workshop will provide an opportunity for feedback from a broad range of user and partner representatives regarding the science drivers, ideas, and technological needs that have shaped the current HPCAT-U plans. At the conclusion of the workshop, the organizing committee, based on the input from all of the participants, will update the working HPCAT-U document that guides development and implementation toward HPCAT-U.
Please note, due to the ongoing COVID situation, this workshop will be fully virtual using the BlueJeans platform. In order to provide a collaborative and productive engagement with participants, we are limiting the workshop to a smaller (~50 participants) representative group of our user community and all registration-attendance will be by invitation only.
The workshop includes speakers (see agenda) and participants. Limit to ~50 total participants from: LLNL/LANL/SNL, CDAC, NNSA-SSAA Academic partners, HPCAT staff, and the broader HPCAT user community representatives.
