Description

This brief presentation will highlight the Time-Resolved Research Group’s new and enhanced capabilities
developed to leverage the APS Upgrade, including pump-probe multimodal imaging and diffraction, grazing-
incidence scattering, pair distribution function measurements, and double-laser-pump TR-XAS. Delivered
immediately before the 40-minute discussion period in the morning session, it is intended to help frame
conversation on how these tools can be most effectively applied to important scientific questions. A central goal
is to inform the community about these capabilities while inviting feedback on priority research directions,
experimental needs, and data challenges that can help guide the future development of time-resolved
capabilities at the APS.
