CNPEM/LNLS promotes the 33^rd LNLS Annual Users’ Meeting (RAU) from 8 to 9 November 2023 at the CNPEM campus, in Campinas-SP. In addition, 4 satellite events are held on 7 and 10 November 2023

RAU aims to gather researchers who use LNLS scientific instrumentation to perform cutting-edge experiments in areas such as Materials Science, Health and Pharmacology, Environmental Science Energy, Biotechnology, X-ray Imaging, Oil and Gas, Chemistry, and others. It is an important forum for discussion, evaluation, and presentation of proposals for the improvement of the research projects to be performed at the Brazilian synchrotron light source, Sirius.

With the start of regular user operation of Sirius' beamlines simultaneously with the ongoing commissioning and installation of new beamlines, the participation of the scientific community is essential to describe their needs and expectations, as well as share the first scientific results obtained.

The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will hold the 6th Brazil Interpore Chapter Conference on Porous Media from 7-9 August 2023 in Campinas-SP, Brazil.

This event aims to disseminate knowledge on porous media related topics and strengthen the collaboration between the Brazilian interpore community and the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory by bringing together international and local specialists from the academy, industry, and experimental areas related to porous media research.

The “Ricardo Rodrigues” Synchrotron Light School (ER2LS) seeks to expand the training of the current community of users, in addition to boosting the education and preparation of new users, potentially able to use synchrotron light techniques in their research areas.

The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) and the Institute of Physics of University of Campinas (UNICAMP) will hold the 41^st International Conference on Vacuum Ultraviolet and X-ray Physics (VUVX 2023) from 3 to 7 July, 2023, at Campinas-SP, Brazil.

The International Conference VUVX 2023 will bring together scientists from all over the world working in fields involving electromagnetic radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet, soft X-ray and hard X-ray spectral regions generated by synchrotron, laser, or plasma based sources. Topics to be covered range from instrumentation and methods development to applications in a variety of fields. 

Registration for the “Fluka Introductory Course” is open until January 9, 2023. FLUKA is a Monte Carlo particle interaction and transport code widely used in diverse areas such as shielding calculations, dosimetry, and particle physics. The Course will cover from basic topics, such as defining the geometry of the beam and detectors, to specific applications such as user routines and simulation in clusters. It will take place online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from January 23rd and September 08th. March 2023. Register!
