Description
An ICTP online meeting

The School will introduce young scientists to the design, operation, and research opportunities offered at a modern synchrotron light source and how such sources are realized.
 
The school will be held over two weeks and will consist of three modules: (1) the physical aspects concerning the design and function of the main components: accelerators, insertion devices and beamline optics (2) an overview of the arguments that can be made in order to fund and build a synchrotron light source, including socioeconomic benefit, stakeholder engagement, communication (3) Overview of common synchrotron light techniques including synchrotron infrared techniques and XANES/EXAFS.
 
Topics:
  • Fundamentals of synchrotron radiation from storage rings
  • Fundamentals of X-ray interactions with matter
  • Design and operation of storage rings
  • Beamline design: Photon transport and optics
  • Bending magnets and insertion devices
  • Project management at a large facility
  • Ancillary devices for light sources
  • Socioeconomic justification
  • Cultural heritage
  • Stakeholder engagement/communications
  • Starting up user operations at a new facility
  • Industrial Applications
  • IR microscopy
  • Basics of X-ray crystallography and powder diffraction
  • Basics of structural biology
  • Fundamentals of X-ray absorption: EXAFS and XANES
  • XRF, TXRF, GXRF and their applications in materials and life sciences
  • Tomography

Registration: There is no registration fee.
