== APS upgrade ==
The APS underwent an upgrade that saw the original storage ring replaced with a new multi-bend achromat lattice. Construction of nine new feature beamlines and 15 enhanced existing beamlines will be completed in 2024 and 2025.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to Get $815 Million Upgrade {{!}} Advanced Photon Source|url=https://www.aps.anl.gov/node/11861|access-date=2021-10-21|website=www.aps.anl.gov|language=en}}</ref> The result will be X-rays that are up to 500 times brighter than those currently generated, and beamlines that will enable greater focusing ability to examine smaller materials in sharper detail. The installation period for the new storage ring began on April 24, 2023, and was completed roughly 12 months later in 2024, with stored beam demonstrated April 20, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web|title=APS Upgrade Installation Period Scheduled to Begin April 17, 2023 {{!}} Advanced Photon Source|url=https://www.aps.anl.gov/APS-News/2021-05-10/aps-upgrade-installation-period-scheduled-to-begin-april-17-2023/2021-05-10/aps|access-date=2021-10-21|website=www.aps.anl.gov|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=First stored electron beam in new APS storage ring {{!}} Advanced Photon Source|url=https://www.aps.anl.gov/APS-News/2024-04-20/first-stored-electron-beam-in-new-aps-storage-ring/2024-04-20/first-stored|access-date=2024-04-24|website=www.aps.anl.gov|language=en}}</ref>
