About CARS: CARS at the APS
|
CARS location at the Advanced Photon Source
Over 1400 scientific users have taken advantage of the CARS facilities at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. CARS as a whole has been approved for 3 sectors by the APS, the first for BioCARS, the second for GeoCARS and SoilEnviroCARS (this combined group and its sector referred to as GeoSoilEnviroCARS, or GSECARS), and the third for ChemMatCARS.
The advantages of this multi-disciplinary approach include scientific flexibility, economies of scale (scientific, fiscal and administrative), and promotion of interactions. Thus, CARS is a large, multi-discipline, multi-institution consortium which can offer to its members a broader range of synchrotron expertise and access to a wider range of x-ray sources than would be available in a single discipline, single beamline team. The University of Chicago is the managing agent for CARS.
