Autonomous methods to align beamlines can decrease the amount of time spent on diagnostics, and also uncover better global optima leading to better beam quality. Bayesian optimization is a machine learning-based algorithm well-suited for high-dimensional, expensive-to-sample, and potentially noisy optimization problems, and it has been successfully implemented to autonomously align beamlines...
The upgrade of the existing PETRA-III synchrotron at DESY to a fourth-generation light source, PETRA-IV, includes not only an increase in brightness but also a new and expanded portfolio of instruments and an updated business model delivering results to non-expert users more promptly than today. Indeed, this business model is already under development at select PETRA-III instruments.
The...
Synchrotron radiation (SR) light sources provide precise and deep insights that have been driving cutting-edge scientific research. Facing to SR scientific big data challenge, it is urgent to develop artificial intelligence (AI) analysis methods to enhance research efficiency including novel material discovery[1]. In this talk, I will focus on AI analysis methods for multimodal SR data...
The ongoing 4th-generation synchrotron source upgrades and new constructions around the world will provide a higher brilliance, enabling scientists to investigate the dynamics of biological structures at shorter timescales and with higher throughput than ever before. Large-area photon counting and integrating detectors with fast framing capabilities and large dynamic range have become a vital...
Monolithic arrays of SDDs represent a promising solution for high-rate X-ray spectroscopy detectors at synchrotron beamlines. However, charge sharing near pixel boundaries represents an obstacle for multichannel X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy based on monolithic Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) arrays. While crosstalk is efficiently reduced by traditional mechanical collimation, active area and...
All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries are hailed as one of the most promising candidates in the realm of battery materials, boasting higher energy density, lower extraction costs, enhanced safety, and improved cycling performance. While synchrotron radiation-based characterization techniques offer insights into the elemental distribution, bonding situations, and local coordination...
