Beamline Schedules
Schedules for individual beamlines are posted in the ALS Scheduler.
Upcoming Long Shutdowns
Over the next two years, shutdowns will be longer than in recent years to allow the installation of the new accumulator ring, which is required to inject beam into the storage ring of the upgraded ALS, and the replacement of aging infrastructure in our 30-year-old facility in preparation for the new storage ring’s installation. In general, long shutdowns are expected to begin at the start of January and July and last ~13 weeks. In June 2026, the facility will go dark for one year for installation of the new ALS-U storage ring. More information on the project timeline can be found here.
