Our staff and scientists support scientific research by a broad user community in a safe environment. SSRL operates approximately 9 months each year.
25 beam lines, 31 end-stations: 8 independently operating bending magnet BLs and 16 independently operating insertion device BLs.
SSRL's extremely bright x-rays are used by scientists to view the nanoworld, leading to cutting-edge research in a broad range of scientific disciplines.
We make an impact through scientific research that uncovers how matter works, by teaching the next generation to understand and undertake critical exploration, and by communicating our science to policy makers, influencers and the public.
