European XFEL:
Title: High Rep Rate Fixed Target Delivery: Chip standardisation and workflow Draft programme
Organizer: Carsten Deiter; Ekaterina Round (European XFEL), John Beale (PSI)
Venue: E1.173 (European XFEL, Holzkoppel 4, Schenefeld)
Duration: 09:00-19:00
Type: hybrid
Short description:
Modern X-ray sources offer the possibility to perform single shot experiments with high repetition rates. To enable sample delivery of fixed-targets with rates of up to 10Hz, the positions of the samples have to be known prior the experiment. In this workshop we will discuss strategies to standardize sample mounts and position descriptions. We will propose possible approaches to the necessary tasks.
The workshop is split into two parts: The morning session focuses on the workflow for fixed-targets – especially sample pre-characterization and deep learning-based image recognition – and the afternoon session aims for standardization of carrier chips and data formats for fixed-targets in protein crystallography.
Title: X-ray Raman and other non-resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering at XFELs Draft programme
Organizer: Frederico Lima (European XFEL); Simo Huotari (University of Helsinki)
Venue: Building 15, CSSB Auditorium, (DESY, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg)
Duration: 09:00-17:00
Type: hybrid
Short description:
Non-resonant Inelastic X-ray scattering is a powerful, photon-hungry technique that has been used at 3rd- and 4th-generation storage rings to probe low-energy excitations in the condensed phase and access light element absorption edges (X-ray Raman) using hard X-rays. These methods have provided new opportunities for in situ and in operando measurements of functional materials, which has proven attractive to a very diverse range of research fields. This satellite meeting will explore the current capabilities at synchrotron sources, along with an overview of the different fields of science being investigated using these methods. The current status and capabilities of hard X-ray spectrometers at the EuXFEL instruments will be presented along with similar projects at other XFELs to better understand the state of the art in the field.

Title: Present and future opportunities for the investigation of gas-phase biomolecules at FEL and SR facilities Draft programme
Organizer: Sadia Bari, Lucas Schwob (DESY)
Venue: Bldg. 99, SemR CFEL II
Duration: 09:00 - 18:00
Type: hybrid
Short description:
Over the past decade, the combination of electrospray ionization sources (ESI), tandem mass-spectrometry (MS) and advanced light sources has become an increasingly popular experimental method for the study of large biomolecules such as peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides. Thanks to the versatility of ESI-MS instruments and the tunability of synchrotrons and FELs in the VUV to X-ray range, our community has collected rich data on e.g. radiation damage, site-selective dissociation, the effects of nano-solvation, spectroscopy of the electronic structure (valence to core levels), insights into geometrical structure, etc. Nevertheless, some experimental challenges are still to be tackled to get deeper knowledge into the studied systems and to be able to record the dynamics of ultrafast processes, photoelectron spectra or to enable coincident/covariance measurements as routinely performed for neutral gas-phase target molecules.
With this meeting, we hope to bring together researchers and beamline scientists to discuss ongoing research topics, users’ needs and current possibilities and development at FEL and synchrotron facilities, with a focus on “large” gas-phase biomolecules produced by electrospray ionization. The meeting will end with a round table discussion between users and beamline scientists to stimulate new collaborative projects.
To reach a larger audience, our meeting is planned to be set up in a hybrid mode.

Venue: Bldg, 48f, Room 01.030
Duration: 13:16:30
Type: hybrid
Short description:
In situ studies on mm-sized samples at high pressures (< 30 GPa) and temperatures (< 2300 K) in the Aster-15 LVP are routinely carried out at P61B using energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction and radiography using the high-energy Wiggler beam (30 – 160 keV). It is now possible to use one of the Ge-detectors in the vertical tilted position to collect diffracted X-rays between the anvils in cubic compression mode down to 2θ = 3° with the newly installed beamstop. For rock deformation studies up to 15 GPa, stress estimation is now possible with both detectors at 2θ = 5° or greater and at azimuthal positions of 0° and 90°. This setup is enhanced using X-ray transparent cBN and sintered-diamond anvils. Furthermore, we offer additional in situ techniques, such as 1) acoustic emissions detection with 6 sensors, combined with anisotropic compression to study brittle processes in samples with and without X-rays, and 2) ultrasonic wave speed measurements using smaller WC anvils, a LiNbO3 transducer and a newly installed signal amplification system with a high-speed relay to study the physical properties of materials in assemblies as small as 10 mm at > 20 GPa and high temperatures. Imaging experiments, such as falling sphere viscosimetry, are enhanced with a new extremely bright scintillator: GAGG:Ce. P61B is available for beam time (normal access) and experiment time without X-rays (fast access). Details on the status, development and future of the beamline at PETRA IV will be presented at this dedicated workshop. We hope this meeting offers an opportunity for you to connect with fellow scientists in the field and with the invited speakers.

We want to highlight actual projects in the areas of structural biology, Imaging, radiotherapy and pharmacology.
Our main objective is to gain our understanding of support opportunities, how can we help to improve the infrastructure for your research. For example, can we open the excellent core facilities at CSSB for the Beamlines and can we explore more possibilities for cooperation between DESY, CSSB, EMBL, CFEL, European XFEL, UHH and other institutions? How can we integrate single projects into a framework of cooperation like PIERS or LEAPS? And last but not least we want to get an idea of your expectations regarding biomedical research at PETRA IV, what infrastructure do you expect?
We will start with a few research highlights presented by outstanding researchers (10 min per talk).
Afterwards we want to get together with the community by having a podium discussion (approx. 30 min).
European XFEL:
Title: Data analysis at the European XFEL Draft pogramme
Organizer: Luca Gelisio (European XFEL)
Venue: Zoom only
Duration: 10:00 - 16:30
Type: Virtual Meeting (Zoom)
Short description:
Experiments performed at the European XFEL are complex and can generate enormous amounts of data. While online analysis provides crucial feedback in real-time to effectively steer the experiment, more rigorous offline analysis is necessary to bring new scientific findings to publication. One of the core missions of the Data Analysis group is to provide tools to enable this analysis and interpretation of scientific data both online and offline.
During this workshop we will highlight the latest work from our group, give tutorials on data analysis at the European XFEL and offer breakout rooms to discuss issues and ideas together.
