GISAXS 2025

27 Oct 2025, 08:00 → 29 Oct 2025, 17:00 Europe/Berlin

FLASH Seminar room, Bldg. 28c (DESY Hamburg)

 

From October 27 to October 29, 2025, the international workshop GISAXS2025 will be held in Hamburg, Germany. It is a continuation of the very successful series of several international GISAXS workshops at DESY (in 2005-2022, please see GISAXS2022:  https://indico.desy.de/event/34291/) and the satellite conferences to the SAS conference series in Oxford (in 2009), in Kyoto (in 2012), in Nice (in 2015) and in Gyeongju (in 2018). This workshop brings together different communities working in the field of thin films, nanostructures, surfaces, and interfaces to gain insights into the very powerful method of grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering and related techniques. In keynote and invited lectures, the possibilities and new trends in GISAXS and GISANS will be highlighted with a special emphasis on real-time investigations and data analysis. As in all the years, we expect about 100 participants from all over the world.

 

The program is divided into two parts: In the first part, introductory lectures will be combined with expert lectures by leading expert scientists of grazing incidence technology and application. In the second part of the workshop, we will have hands-on GISAXS, focusing on online data treatment and simulation of GISAXS data. In addition, we will offer a visit to the micro-and nano-focus beamline dedicated to GISAXS at the 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source PETRA III.
