Advanced Light Source
Compendium of User Abstracts
Welcome to the online version of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) Compendium of User Abstracts. Each year, from 1993-2001, the ALS compiled abstracts of user research from the past year and published them along with other ALS information (e.g., funding sources and beamline information) for that year. Originally published as a hardcopy volume, the annual Compendium for 1999-2001 was distributed on CD together with each year's ALS Activity Report, which complemented the Compendium by presenting overviews of each year's scientific program, ongoing research and development efforts, and operations.
This Web version of the Compendium, however, combines the abstracts from all years from 1997-2001 into one searchable database. Other Compendium material is listed separately by year. This page also contains links to the most up-to-date information on ALS beamlines, becoming an ALS User, and ordering a copy of the latest Activity Report and Compendium CD.
To view the abstracts in this online Compendium, you will need Acrobat Reader which you can download free from the Adobe Web Site. Here are some viewing tips for using Acrobat Reader with this Compendium.
Note: The production of the ALS Compendium has been indefinitely suspended.
