Programme

Advanced Materials
for a Sustainable Future
(full day)

The session aims to discuss MAX IV’s contribution to supporting materials scientists’ needs in studying advanced materials for a sustainable future and circular economy. The talks will highlight the use of synchrotron-generated X-rays in the materials’ design, production, properties, performance, and applications. Particular attention will be paid to the use of high coherence, brightness, and low emittance of the MAX IV 3 GeV ring. The session will also feature presentations of the future Diffraction, Imaging, and Spectroscopy beamline projects for materials research.

General life science at MAX IV
(full day)

The session aims to give an overview of Life Science experiments at MAX IV and covers experiments within microscopy and imaging, scattering, spectroscopy and diffraction. A specialized morning session will be dedicated to time-resolved studies using different techniques while while the afternoon will focus on other methods including imaging and crystallography. A wide array of topics within Life Science will be presented including drug discovery, enzymology, pathology, bone as well as environmental studies.

Coherent methods
and the new CXI branchline
(half day, after lunch)

This session will emphasize the opportunities and challenges in exploiting some of the unique properties of 4^th generation synchrotron sources, particularly X-ray coherence. These light sources provide a dramatic increase in X-ray coherent flux, especially at long wavelengths. Some contributions will relate to the ongoing activities at our SoftiMAX beamline, among which the development of a branchline dedicated to Coherent X-ray Diffraction, but also soft X-ray speckle spectroscopy techniques. We also welcome contributions about experiments performed with coherent X-rays of much shorter wavelengths.
