Abstract:

High-Pressure Collaborative Access Team (HPCAT) is a dedicated facility for high pressure research and is located within the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.

Goal of HPCAT is to develop and implement synchrotron-based x-ray techniques that are coupled with diamond anvil cell (DAC), portable large volume press (LVP), and other platforms for studying materials at extreme pressure-temperature conditions.

Comprised of four simultaneously operational beamlines, HPCAT is the largest dedicated high-pressure synchrotron-based facility in the world and provides broad range of cutting-edge x-ray techniques, as well as complementary high-pressure support equipment.

Over the years numerous high-pressure x-ray diffraction, x-ray spectroscopy, and x-ray imaging techniques have been developed and established for high pressure research through a robust national laboratory and university partnership, and broad general user operation.

Currently, HPCAT has two insertion device beamlines, one for diffraction and the other for spectroscopy, and two bending magnet beamlines, one for general purpose and the other for white-beam applications. Our presentation will provide overview of HPCAT and some of the available online and offline capabilities, as well as providing general information about current operational structure and future direction.
