Dear Colleague,

Registration to our workshop:

"Sample modulation by high photon densities:  desired and undesired effects"

December 11-13, 2019 is still open and has been extended to Friday 29th of November:   http://www.esrf.fr/sample-modulation

Scope:

The very high photon densities that will be achieved with EBS will in many experiments modify the sample or its environment in a way that will affect the collected data.  Such effects include structural modifications, bond breaking, photopolymerization, transport phenomena, redox processes, heating, change of macroscopic properties (e.g. electrical conductivity) or external conditions (e.g. ionization of surrounding gas molecules, ...).  The aim of this workshop is to make the entire ESRF user community aware of these problems by emphasizing all aspects of such sample alteration that may in some cases actually be desired.  Assessment of beam damage, determination of acceptable doses, plausible mechanisms as well as mitigating  strategies will be discussed.

You find a list of all upcoming ESRF workshops and other events on http://www.esrf.fr/events/conferences

Please forward this email to whoever you think may be interested.

Kind regards,

Pieter Glatzel, Theyencheri Narayanan, Alexander Popov, Manfred Burghammer

PS: Note that the ESRF beamlines are now hiring post-docs. You find the beamlines on http://www.esrf.fr/home/UsersAndScience/find-a-beamline.html  Please contact the scientist in charge of the beamline in case you are interested.
