April 29–May 1, 2025
We are encouraging all potential users to attend this meeting in-person. However, the meeting will support hybrid access via ZOOM for registered attendees. Please note that the UED Facility is no longer part of DOE-SC User Facility operations and proposals are no longer being accepted for that facility as part of the ATF proposal call. If you have an interest in beam time at the UED facility, please email the UED Access Team directly.
Motivation
The Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) is a DOE Office of Science User Facility that provides users with high-brightness electron- and laser-beams, and ultrafast electron diffraction capabilities. The Accelerator Facilities Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory has provided a facility for users to study the properties of modern accelerators and new techniques of particle acceleration and radiation generation for over 30 years. It is the designated user facility for the Accelerator Stewardship Program.
