General ALS Publications

See ALS Publications for information about requesting printed copies. Some of the publications listed below are also available as PDF files.

1. "Science and Technology of Future Light Sources"
   This white paper, a collaboration between four DOE national laboratories, envisions the scientific challenges that can be met by future x-ray sources and instrumentation and summarizes the research and development required to achieve that vision.
   
   
2. "ALS Spectrum"
   ALS Spectrum is a new publication that encapsulates the same type of information contained in the Activity Report but in a short, readable, newsletter-like format. Featured scientific and facility developments are front-paged, and a roundup of science highlights is provided in easily browsable summaries with Web links. Contents also include brief reports from ALS staff and user groups, articles about ALS people and events, and facility updates.
   
   
3. "Advanced Light Source Activity Report"
   The Activity Report illustrates the depth and breadth of the ALS scientific program with a selection of research results. The report also summarizes operations and ongoing R&D, highlights educational outreach efforts and special events, and provides a reference for the beamlines scheduled for completion in the near future. Printed copies of the most recent year, 2006 (LBNL-62841), are available, upon request, from the ALS User Services Office. Previous reports from the years 1996/97 through 2005 are available as PDF files.
   
   
4. "Advanced Light Source Beamline Design Guide: Information for Beamline Designers, Rev. 2," LBL PUB-3114. A guide for beamline and endstation designers.
   
   
5. "Advanced Light Source Integrated Safety Management Plan," Safety management policy defining principles and core work functions for the ALS Division.
   
   
6. ALSNews. This biweekly electronic newsletter, available on the Web or by email, keeps users and other interested parties informed about developments at the ALS: scientific results, machine operations, user services and more.
   
   
7. ALS Strategic Plan, January 2008
   The emphasis of the new strategic plan is to keep the ALS at the cutting edge for the next 2-3 decades by exploiting the significant advances in accelerator and insertion-device technology that have occurred since the ALS began operation.
   
   
8. "X-Ray Data Booklet"
   Published jointly by the Center for X-Ray Optics and the ALS, this handy book offers data relating to the x-ray properties of elements, synchrotron radiation, scattering processes, optics, and other practical information.
