Registration open for 1st User Workshop on Coherent X-ray Imaging and Small Angle X-ray Scattering

The registrations are open for the 1st User Workshop on Coherent X-ray Imaging and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (Cateretê Workshop), which will be held at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), between May 5th and 6th, 2016. Registrations are open from March 23rd to April 15th.

The aim of this workshop is to present and discuss the science that could be conducted at the Coherent Diffractive Imaging beamline Cateretê, one of the first experimental stations to be operational in 2019 at Sirius, the under construction 4th generation synchrotron.

This workshop will feature presentations by international experts on coherent X-ray imaging and small angle X-ray scattering techniques, but also by scientists in Brazil who use nano X-ray beams in their research. We aim to have discussions on the current design of the Cateretê beamline, the imaging opportunities and the needs of the community in order to guide the ongoing design process towards a powerful, flexible and user-oriented end station.

The workshop will consist of plenary talks, science talks, discussions and writing during round tables sessions, in the following areas: Structural biology and Life Science, Chemistry, Catalysis and Soft Condensed Matter, Novel Coherent Imaging and Scattering Techniques.

At this workshop, experts that are already today using these techniques on relevant systems will present examples on what information is possible to achieve.

A visit to Sirius construction site will be organized.
