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 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.
