Partner User Information
Partner Users are individuals or groups whose work involves a greater degree of collaboration with the APS than is generally expected of General Users. Collaborative Access Teams (CATs) are the most comprehensive type of Partner Users. Another type is a Collaborative Development Team (CDT), an external partner group that drives the development of a beamline that will be ultimately operated by the APS. Typically a Partner User requires access to more than 10% of the beam time on a beamline or sector for two years or more.
