SESAME is glad to invite you to an ICTP online School on Synchrotron Light Sources and their Applications. 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 realised.
The school will be held over two weeks and will consist of three modules:
- The physical aspects concerning the design and function of the main components: accelerators, insertion devices and beamline optics
- 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
- Overview of common synchrotron light techniques, including synchrotron infrared techniques and XANES/EXAFS.
Starts 23 January 2023
Ends 3 February 2023
