An ICTP virtual 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) Physical aspects concerning the design and function of the main components: accelerators, insertion devices and beamline optics;

(2) Overview of the arguments that can be made in order to fund and build a synchrotron light source, including socioeconomic benefits, stakeholder engagement, communication; and

(3) Overview of common beamline techniques, including those utilizing X-rays and infrared radiation.
