Motivation
Celebrating 25 years of the Laser Electron Accelerator Facility (LEAF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, this workshop is being held to educate and grow a new and diverse community of scientists to make use of the unique and valuable techniques of pulse radiolysis.
Pulse radiolysis uses high-energy electron pulses to rapidly produce reactive species such as excess electrons and holes, excited states, and radicals, to enable fundamental mechanistic studies of chemical reactivity in many forms. It provides pathways to study reactive intermediates that are not accessible via other methods (e.g., flash photolysis, electrochemistry, stopped-flow).
Applications include charge, proton and energy transfer, photochemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry, nuclear energy, batteries, polymer synthesis and modification, lithography, radiotherapy, and wastewater treatment.
This 2.5-day workshop (October 21–23, 2024) will:
- Cover the basics of pulse radiolysis (day 1)
- Discuss current and emerging applications of the technique (day 1)
- Explore cutting-edge science topics where pulse radiolysis may play a future role (days 2 and 3)
- Include a tour of the LEAF facility (day 2)
- Highlight funding pathways and collaborative research opportunities at LEAF (day 3, morning only)
Only in-person participants will have the opportunity to discuss project and collaboration ideas with BNL scientists.
Remote-only registration is available.
Limited financial assistance may be available. To request further information, please contact David Grills (dcgrills@bnl.gov).
