Facebook Live Event Will Feature Science at the Advanced Light Source

What goes on at an X-ray light source?  Tune in to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's (Berkeley Lab's) Facebook page, at https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleyLab/ , at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) this Friday, July 27. Staff from Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS) will describe this science facility and their work. The Facebook Live event will cater to an all-ages audience. You will hear from: Sol Omolayo , ALS Vacuum Systems Group Leader in the Lab's Engineering Division. Omolayo  supports the operation of the ALS and also work on vacuum design and R&D for ALS projects including the ALS Upgrade (ALS-U) project. He joined the ALS in 2016, relocating from the U.K. Because n early all ALS experiments takes place under vacuum, Omalayo's group has an important role in maintaining the vacuum levels across the ALS. The vacuum levels required on the ALS ranges from Earth's atmospheric pressure down to pressures found on the moon.
