The ALS will shut down in early July through the end of the calendar year for the replacement of the switch station through which all power for the ALS accelerator comes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2027-1 Cycle (January\u2013June): Several months of beam, anticipated to begin in January. Accumulator ring commissioning will require a month-long period in the spring without user operations. Following this, continued accumulator commissioning will require approximately six weeks of reduced user operations. During that time, the ALS will be shut down for approximately four days per week. The detailed cycle schedule will be announced in fall 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2027-2 Cycle (July\u2013December): At least three months of beam, depending on final dark time start date. We will not have an extended shutdown in summer 2027. Detailed schedule anticipated in spring 2027.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark time: Dark time is planned to start no earlier than October 2027 and will last approximately 22 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For inquires please contact BCSBbeamtime@lbl.gov<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beamlines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BCSB runs six beamlines at the Advanced Light Source: Beamlines 2.0.1, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 8.2.1, and 8.2.2.
