Status and research high-lights of the ECB (P02.2) at PETRA III
Organizers: Hanns-Peter Liermann
Time: 13:00h - 18:00h
Location: tba
Type:
Abstract:
The Extreme Conditions Beamline (ECB) P02.2 at PETRA III is a micro to sub-micron X-ray diffraction / imaging beamline dedicated to high-pressure and simultaneous high/low temperatures research in the Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC). In 2024 we implemented the new LAMBDA 9M GaAs detector with imaging capabilities at the GP and LH experiment of the beamline in collaboration with the long term proposal from LLNL. This new setup will give a boost to the Partially-Coherent Propagation-Based Phase Contrast Imaging experiments. At the same time we completed the commissioning of the Soller slit setup for the study of non-crystaline materials in the framework of the ErUM project from the Uni. of Freiburg. We also implemented our new laser drilling machine and made many other smaller changes to the beamline. Starting 2025 we are offering all the above techniques to general users. Finally, we will give an outlook of new developments planned for 2025 and give an update on the plans for ExTReM at PETRA IV.
In situ energy-dispersive XRD and imaging on materials at HPHT conditions in the Large Volume Press at P61B
Organizers: Robert Farla, Bhat Shrikant
Time: 13:30h-17:30h
Location: tba
Type:
Abstract:
The Aster-15 LVP at beamline station P61B is used to routinely generate high pressures (up to 30 GPa) and temperatures (up to 2400 K) on materials for HPHT investigations using energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (ED-XRD) and radiography in the high-energy range 30 – 160 KeV. Specialised assemblies may generate even higher pressures or can be enhanced with ultrasonic wave speed measurements. The station provides two highly positional Ge-detectors for XRD acquisitions. In situ deformation experiments are enhanced using X-ray transparent cBN or sintered-diamond anvils and the acoustic emissions detection system. Imaging experiments, such as falling sphere viscosimetry, may be enhanced with an extremely bright scintillator - GAGG:Ce. We are also working toward commissioning of an impedance analyser for in situ electrical conductivity measurements and a monochromator for specialised angle-dispersive XRD measurements in the LVP. Finally, a suite of data processing software is available on the beamline website. Proposals can be submitted to P61B for beam time (normal access) and for time without X-rays (fast access). Details on the status, development and future of the beamline at PETRA IV will also be presented at this dedicated workshop.
Community proposals using seeded operation at FLASH
Organizers: Markus Guehr
Time: 09:00h-12:00h
Location: tba
Type: in presence
Abstract:
FLASH is undergoing a significant upgrade with the FLASH2020+ project, resulting in an externally seeded FLASH1 free electron laser branch. The externally seeded operation at a high repetition rate, up to an effective repetition rate of 8 kHz, positions FLASH at a unique place in the international FEL landscape. The increased longitudinal coherence, spectral stability, and high average spectral flux are ideal for advanced ultrafast and nonlinear X-ray probing of matter. The upgrade will occur in 2024 and 2025. We plan to stage community-driven experiments in the time interval after commissioning, before the start of normal peer-reviewed access mode. The experiments aim to demonstrate a particular capability of the new source, which is essential for your community.
The sessions aim to assemble the communities working together on these experiments. The nature of the experiments between the commissioning and regularly reviewed proposal access requires coordination by our local scientists at DESY, with an international team contributing to the effort. We are looking for 1-2 community proposals per science area (Chemistry, Materials, AMO, Biology).
This workshop provides an opportunity to reconvene in the different communities and continue the process that was started a year ago at the user meeting.
We will have one convener per session to guide the discussion of approximately 3 hours. A general introduction before the breakout sessions gives the current view on the experimental opportunities available at the seeded FLASH1.
We would be grateful if you could join this event to shape and participate in the community experiments.
