0936384 GrunerThis award from the Division of Materials Research to Cornell University supports a renewal of the operation of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The award also includes funds to operate the Cornell High Energy Storage Source (CESR) as an accelerator fully dedicated for supporting photon science. CHESS will operate as a national user facility providing open access to users on the basis of a competitive proposal process. With the availability of CESR as a dedicated X-ray light source CHESS will provide better quality of X-ray light for users and increased beamtime allocated to user service. CHESS will serve a variety of users in science and engineering disciplines from academe, industry and government for studies encompassing the atomic structure, properties, and time-resolved behavior of electronic, structural, polymeric and biological materials. In addition, CHESS will continue studies of protein and virus crystallography, environmental science, radiography, art and archaeology, and micro-elemental analysis. In addition, the staff at the CHESS facility will pursue advances in synchrotron radiation instrumentation and techniques development in: (1) high-pressure science, (2) X-ray fluorescence imaging, (3) low X-ray energy (2-7 KeV) studies, (4) time-resolved science and detector development, (5) soft matter and nanostructures, (6) X-ray optics developments, (7) biological macromolecules and biological chemistry.In the education and training plan, CHESS will provide unique education and training programs for undergraduate and graduate students. Training of undergraduate students provides apprenticeship programs via summer internships and REU. CHESS performs K-12 outreach to students and public school teachers by collaborating with other campus centers and local schools to offer classroom science activities, by creating and sponsoring neighborhood after-school science programs, and by hosting tours and demonstrations for the public. CHESS has specific initiatives aimed at increasing participation of under- represented groups in science with goals to improve science literacy in the local and national workforce.

0936384 Gruner 该奖项由康奈尔大学材料研究部颁发，用于支持康奈尔高能同步加速器源（CHESS）的运行更新。该奖项还包括运营康奈尔高能存储源（CESR）的资金，作为完全致力于支持光子科学的加速器。 CHESS 将作为国家用户设施运营，在竞争性提案流程的基础上向用户提供开放访问。随着CESR作为专用X射线光源的出现，CHESS将为用户提供更好质量的X射线光，并增加分配给用户服务的光束时间。 CHESS 将为来自学术界、工业界和政府的科学和工程学科的各种用户提供服务，以研究电子、结构、聚合物和生物材料的原子结构、性质和时间分辨行为。此外，CHESS还将继续研究蛋白质和病毒晶体学、环境科学、放射线照相、艺术和考古学以及微量元素分析。此外，CHESS 设施的工作人员将在同步辐​​射仪器和技术开发方面追求进步：(1) 高压科学，(2) X 射线荧光成像，(3) 低 X 射线能量（2-7 KeV）研究，（4）时间分辨科学和探测器开发，（5）软物质和纳米结构，（6）X射线光学发展，（7）生物大分子和生物化学。在教育和培训计划中，CHESS将为本科生和研究生提供独特的教育和培训计划。本科生培训通过暑期实习和 REU 提供学徒计划。 CHESS 通过与其他校园中心和当地学校合作提供课堂科学活动、创建和赞助社区课外科学项目以及为公众举办参观和演示，向学生和公立学校教师开展 K-12 外展活动。 CHESS 制定了具体举措，旨在增加代表性不足的群体对科学的参与，目标是提高地方和国家劳动力的科学素养。
