February 2022

• XAS workshop videos are now on Youtube!
• The Call for Proposals for Cycle 38, which runs July 1 – December 31, 2023, is now open. The deadline for submission of new proposals or beamtime requests (BTRs) is Wednesday, February 22 at 12pm (noon) CST. Please visit Applying for Beamtime for Information on how to submit Proposal to BioXAS-Spectroscopy Main and contact beamline staff for assistance.
• Associate Scientist position is now open at BioXAS-Spectroscopy beamline. We are looking for a motivated PostDoc with strong background in EXAFS and hands-on experience with beamline instrumentation. Apply before March 31st!

January 2022

• We are testing the performance and sensitivity limits of BioXAS-Spectroscopy Main. For these tests we measured Sb K edge on a 115 ppm NIST standards. We are excited about these measurements! Please contact beamline staff to discuss the sensitivity for your experiments.

November 2020

• Registrations for the Advanced XAS Workshop 2020 are now closed, but you can still submit your information to be considered for the next iteration of the workshop, which will be conducted at a later date (still to be decided).
• Fall shutdown at the CLS. At BioXAS, engineers and technicians are installing a new air conditioning system to keep the optical elements, detectors, and electronics operating within their optimal temperature ranges. This will increase beam stability and improve the detector signal to noise ratio. The work will be completed for the start of cycle 33 in January 2021.

October 2020

• The CLS invited you to participate in the advanced XAS Data and Modeling Virtual workshop. The workshop is to be conducted in four-half day remote sessions hosted through WebEX. Online registration is free and open. We hope to see you there! More information and registration can be found at XAS Data Analysis Registration and Information

July 2020

• Due to Covid BioXAS moves to a Drop-in/Mail in mode exclusively. o external users are allowed on site. The measurements are to be conducted by staff, but users are encouraged to participate before, during and after the experiment. We hope that it will be possible for the users to control the experiments remotely.

May 2019

• BioXAS spectroscopy beamlines are now fully operational and are in collection mode for various research projects.

July 2018

• BioXAS main and side to begin receiving general user proposals for the January-June 2019 cycle. Proposals can be summitted to the CLS User Portal.
