The Short Course on X-ray Nanoprobe and Coherence at Synchrotron Light Sources will be held at the LNLS, between March 21st and 24th, 2016. The two-day Short Course on X-ray Coherence and Nanoprobe Techniques will deliver six hours of lectures on x-ray optics, nanoprobe and coherence techniques, covering from soft to hard x-rays beamlines. It aims at an audience of PhD students, post-docs, engineers and scientists interested in the field of producing and using x-rays nanoprobes and coherence properties.
Following the publication of FAPESP/Finep call for proposals, which supports the development of technological demands related to the Sirius Project, LNLS will promote the roundtable Parcerias Sirius. The event aims to present 13 challenges proposed by LNLS for the development and construction of the new lightsource to companies from São Paulo State.
The SAXS Workbench, the 3rd training school for SAXS beginners, will be held at the LNLS in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, between October 28th and 30th, 2015. The main idea of this training is to help and build up the user community at SAXS1 and SAXS2 beamlines at the LNLS. The SAXS group will offer comprehensive hands-on training in synchrotron data collection and analysis for the first time synchrotron users.
The LNLS 25th Annual Users’ Meeting (RAU) will take place from September 16th to 17th, 2015, in Campinas, Brazil. RAU has the objective of encouraging debates, the exchange of experiences and the integration of the LNLS user community. It is an important forum for discussion, evaluation and presentation of proposals for the improvement of the research structures and of the scientific instrumentation available at the synchrotron light source. The meeting represents also an opportunity for the exchange of information about the research carried out at the facilities.
The 4th School on X-Ray Spectroscopy Methods will be held at the LNLS, in Campinas, Brazil, between September 14th and 15th. The event will happen just before the LNLS Annual User’s Meeting (RAU), as a satellite event. This school will focus on the fundamentals of x-ray spectroscopy methods and data analysis and its applications. The first day will include introductory lectures about the theoretical and experimental aspects of hard x-ray spectroscopy, followed by one day of advanced lectures and tutorials on data analysis and examples of applications in different fields.
