APEX Accelerators are an official government contracting resource for small businesses. Find your local APEX Accelerator (opens in new window) for free government expertise related to contract opportunities.
APEX Accelerators are funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
The APEX Accelerators program was formerly known as the Procurement Technical Assistance Program (opens in new window) (PTAP).
The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade Project (APS-U) is planning a storage-ring upgrade that will reduce the electron-beam emittance by a factor of ~75. This ultralow emittance is achieved by replacing the present storage ring lattice with a multibend achromat (MBA) lattice. The MBA lattice will increase the x-ray coherent fraction by two orders of magnitude and decrease the horizontal source size by a factor of ~20. In addition, the APS-U is planning to build eight new featured beamlines and make optics upgrades to many others.
One of the APS-U feature beamlines (34-ID) will conduct studies either using pink beam (PB) or monochromatic beam (MB) using two separate undulator branches on a canted sector of the APS-U. These beamlines are the Atomic beamline for coherent imaging and the 3DMN beamline for micro/nano Laue diffraction microscopy. A key component for conditioning the beam upstream of the sample is the pink/monochromatic beam slits. There are one such component in each branch of the 34-ID beamline.
This is a request for a proposal that specifies the design, manufacture, test, and delivery of the slit’s assemblies, external stages, and support tables.
