BioCARS Workshop on Time-resolved Macromolecular Crystallography

APS Workshop
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory
View Description
This workshop will provide hands-on training in designing and conducting time-resolved experiments and in Laue data processing and analysis. New and returning BioCARS users will also learn about the exciting new capabilities at beamline 14-ID. Applicants are invited to bring their own samples. The workshop will feature lectures, data collection on samples provided by BioCARS and participants, and data processing of both new and previously collected datasets. Participants will also have opportunities to discuss application of the technique to their own scientific projects with experts in the field.

Operations at the Australian Synchrotron

Speaker: Dr. Dean Morris, Australian Synchrotron, Australia
AES Presentation
401/B4100 @ 1:00 PM
View Description
This talk will focus on the operational performance of the Australian Synchrotron. The beam availability, mean time between failures, mean down time and cause of faults will be discussed, as will plans for improving these areas. A history of the project will be presented, including particular successes and failures and the contracting methodology for the machine and beamlines. The current status of the beamlines will be reviewed, along with the organizational and governance structures and the level of resources in each of the scientific and technical areas. The arrangements for user access and the demand for the different beamlines will also be discussed.

X-ray Microscopy: What's Next

Speaker: Chris Jacobsen, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Stony Brook University
XSD Presentation
401/A1100 @ 10:30 AM
View Description
X-ray microscopy has evolved from being a gleam in the eye of some pioneers, to a workhorse with many applications. What’s Next? Drawing upon some recent applications, one can recklessly speculate as to important developments that need to be tackled. These include improvements to the instruments (optics, detectors, and cryo systems), making more effective use of the richness of data that can now be obtained, and combining information from multiple microscopes. These needed developments outline one agenda for the future, with an aim of adding to the capabilities of x-ray microscopy for addressing new science as well as new materials and energy technologies.
