Organization

Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is a Korean national accelerator laboratory operating synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser user facilities. Sub-facilities include the Pohang Light Source (PLS) and PAL-XFEL.

Access status

  • Level: yellow (Negotiated Access)
  • Rationale: International PAL user facilities (PLS, PAL-XFEL); beamtime via PAL proposals and collaborator networks; DePaul coordinates through ORS for sponsored research travel/agreements as needed.
  • Access URL: offices.depaul.edu/research-services/Pages/default.aspx

Relationship to DePaul

DePaul Physics ultrafast/x-ray research (e.g. CSH-007, faculty lead Eric Landahl) documents experiments at PAL sub-facilities in peer-reviewed publications. DePaul does not operate beamlines at PAL; access is through standard user-facility programs.

Known collaborations & connections

  • PUB-003 — time-resolved x-ray scattering instrument demonstration at the Pohang Light Source (DOI).
  • Connected DePaul resources: CSH-005, CSH-007.

Verification
