The beam commissioning and installation of the multilayer optical elements the BEAmline for Tomography at SESAME were completed in October and November 2023, thanks to the combined efforts of multiple SESAME teams.
Through its Five-Year Strategic Plan (2024-2028) just published, SESAME embarks on the five year’s road ahead. The Plan provides information on the background and structure of the Center and what has been achieved so far. It describes its vision for the next five years. It defines the capital funding that it needs to grow, and reports on the staff levels and operational budgets that will be needed up to 2028.
Introductory lessons on experimental techniques being used at large-scale facilities.
Researchers from the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, and the MS/XPD beamline of SESAME have published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) a study of the mechanism used by Athel tamarisk (Tamarix aphylla), a xerophyte tree that grows along watercourses in arid areas, to capture water.
XEOL is an X-ray photon in/optical photon out technique that is related to the conversion of the X-ray energy absorbed by the materials to optical photons, involving multi-step energy transfer cascade processes. XEOL is now available at the end station of BM-08 XAFS/XRF beamline with emission spectra measurement capability under irradiation with X-ray beam.
SESAME is glad to invite you to the third edition of the ICTP online School on Synchrotron Light Sources and their Applications.
We are glad to announce a remarkable opportunity for scientists based in SESAME Members to participate in the German Physical Society (DPG) Spring Meetings, thanks to the generous support of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation (WE-Heraeus-Foundation).
We are glad to announce that SESAME is now accepting proposals for the user period starting from January 01st, to June 30th 2024.
