A Dedicated Full-Field Imaging Beamline at NSLS II

June 4, 2010

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Bldg. 817, Rm. 4

Workshop Organizer: Jake Socha (Virginia Tech),  Wah Keat Lee (Argonne National Laboratory)

Full-field X-ray Imaging is a technique that is applicable to a very broad range of disciplines.  While x-ray imaging is an old field, the advent of low-emittance synchrotrons over the last two decades has led to a significant resurgence of the field, with the development of new phase-contrast, 3D and high-speed techniques.   The scientific impact of this resurgence has been impressive and has extended well beyond the conventional physical sciences, into diverse fields such as physiology and paleontology.  The US is trailing Europe and Japan in synchrotron-based full-field x-ray imaging facilities.  This workshop brings together a key group of scientists to provide input to develop a proposal for a dedicated full-field x-ray imaging beamline at NSLS II.  The goals of the workshop are as follows:

(i) Identify strong scientific cases for the construction of a dedicated full-field imaging beamline at NSLS-II

(ii) Identify the key techniques that will be served by the beamline

(iii) Identify critical beamline parameters, such as the optimum energy range, beamsize, and coherence that are needed to fulfill the scientific mission
