Science opportunities in condensed-phase chemistry with femtosecond hard X-ray methods

2 Nov 2021, 09:00 → 3 Nov 2021, 19:30 Europe/Berlin

Zoom

Christopher Milne (Eur.XFEL (European XFEL)), Wernet Philippe (Uppsala University)

We would like to invite you to participate in an online workshop hosted by the Femtosecond X-ray Experiments (FXE) instrument from the European XFEL on probing chemical dynamics using hard X-ray techniques. The workshop will have presentations covering the following topics:

• XFEL facility representatives with an overview of the ways researchers are using hard X-ray instruments to answer chemical, materials or biochemical questions using hard X-ray probes
• XFEL management representatives with an overview of how facilities have encouraged chemical research using the various tools available to provide beam access (long-term proposals, standard configurations, scientific campaign proposals etc.)
• research seminars from experienced researchers who have used a variety of XFEL facilities for their research
• research seminars on topics of potential future areas of XFEL science

The workshop will finish prior to the European XFEL Town Hall online event where the Run 8 call for proposals will be discussed allowing attendees to participate in both meetings.
