NECAT Beamline

The Northeastern Collaborative Access Team (NE-CAT) facility at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is managed by Cornell University and consists of seven member institutions:

  • Columbia University
  • Cornell University
  • Harvard University
  • Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Rockefeller University
  • Yale University.
  • Primary funding for this project comes from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additional financial support for NE-CAT comes from the member institutions.

    Periodically, APS conducts reviews of each CAT’s “scientific productivity” as part of the approval process for continuing operation. One of the key metrics APS uses in these reviews is the number of scientific papers published containing references that the experiments were conducted using the CAT’s beam line.

    If your use of NE-CAT’s beam line was an important element in your publication, NE-CAT would greatly appreciate acknowledgement by including the following reference in your publication.

     

    "This work is based upon research conducted at the Northeastern Collaborative Access Team beamlines of the Advanced Photon Source, supported by award RR-15301 from the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institute of Health. Use of the Advanced Photon Source is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357."

     

    Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated by the NE-CAT staff.
