GSECARS Update 13-BM-C Side Station Scientific programs is DAC diffraction and surface science Proposed partial funding as COMPRES Infrastructure Project. COMPRES could not fund, recommended submission to NSF-MRI Funded by MRI for $550K ($100K less than requested). Monochromator prototype being constructed Will order vertical mirror soon Large Newport diffractometer will be delivered in July, DOE funded.
