PNC/XOR Research Policy and Statement of Acknowledgments

The Pacific Northwest Consortium beamlines at Sector 20 of the Advanced Photon Source are a publicly funded facility, both American and Canadian. The success and continued operation of the PNC facility is determined entirely by the calibre of the research conducted on both its insertion device and bending magnet beamlines. The measure of that success is based on the appearance of results from PNC-related experiments in the public domain: in refereed publications, conference proceedings or other published and generally available media. To this end, it is the policy of the PNC/XOR, as part of the APS community, to accept users for the purpose of conducting non-proprietary research, the results from which will be available in the literature in a reasonable time frame (within approximately 2 years).

Publications are a crucial part of the success of any research program or facility. PNC/XOR is no exception to that. We encourage our users to publish their research in a timely manner, lest it affect future beamtime allocations.

When the citation information is available, we request that users notify us (Contacts: any staff) as well as submit the citation details to the APS Publication Database so that the record of publications for both the APS as a whole, and the PNC beamline can be kept as up-to-date as possible.

Publications by Year:

To properly reflect the support and funding for the PNC/XOR beamlines, the Statement of Acknowledgments in any publication should incorporate the following:

PNC/XOR facilities at the Advanced Photon Source, and research at these facilities, are supported by the US Department of Energy - Basic Energy Sciences, a major facilities access grant from NSERC,  the University of Washington, Simon Fraser University and the Advanced Photon Source. Use of the Advanced Photon Source is also supported by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract DE-AC02-06CH11357.
