We have developed a spin-resolved photoemission facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to study the electronic structures of Actinides. Although great progress in the determination of the electronic structures of low-Z materials has been achieved through the use of angle-resolved photoemission in combination with synchrotron radiation, the electronic structures of Actinides are less easily accessible with this technique because the electronic structures are modified strongly by spin-orbit interaction. In addition, the radioactivity of Actinides prevents them from easy access for experiments. In this talk, we will address how such problems can be removed in the new facility and present preliminary data.
