ALS at 30

October 5, 2023, marks 30 years since first light at the ALS. Over this time, the number of beamlines grew to more than 40, as many as 2,100 users have come to the facility each year, and over 16,000 publications have resulted from work here. Watch this space for special anniversary tidbits throughout the year. We’d also love to hear from you—please share your memories using this form or by contacting alscommunications@lbl.gov
