International workshop for the Materials Imaging and Dynamics Instrument at the European XFEL

Europe/Berlin
ESRF, Grenoble, France

ESRF, Grenoble, France

Description
The Materials Imaging and Dynamics (MID) instrument aims at the investigation of nanosized structures and nanoscale dynamics using coherent radiation. Applications to a wide range of materials from hard to soft condensed matter and biological structures are envisaged. This meeting will present the scientific case but mainly focus on the technical specifications of the MID station. This will address in particular: - source properties (energy range, polarization) - experimental infrastructure (sample-chamber, temperature range, magnetic field, pump laser) - 2-D detector system - diagnostics, synchronization This meeting forms part of a series of workshops aiming at the discussion of scientific cases and designs of the European XFEL instruments. It will feature a number of invited lectures presenting scientific and technical views, followed by group sessions providing opportunities for extended discussions from broad user communities on the construction of the MID instrument and its capabilities.
