XAFS 2022

Short Course on X-ray Absorption Fine Structure: Theory, Data Analysis and Modeling

Dates: November 2–4, 2022

This meeting will be held as a virtual event.

About this Course

Every year NSLS-II offers a 3-day training course to those interested in learning about the use of x-ray absorption spectroscopy methods. This year, the course will be offered online from November 2–4, 2022. It continues the annual tradition of gathering a group of scientists, active in the field, to share their expertise with those interested in learning about the use of x-ray spectroscopy methods in their research.

The course will be useful for those scientists' interested in learning XANES and EXAFS methods, including experiment and data analysis, a nd are interested in advanced analysis and modeling methods applicable for nanomaterials research. The course will be run in a flip c lassroom mode (online). Participants will study video-presentations of leading experts in XAFS methods and applications in advance of the workshop. The video-lectures will be assembled to follow the workshop agenda.

During the workshop, the instructors will divide participants in breakout sections for in-depth problem solving, data analysis and modeling, to best match participants and their research interests. There will be Q&A sessions on the subject of the lectures, and in depth p racticums of the EXAFS and XANES analysis software programs. X-ray spectroscopy is one of the main techniques of the DOE light sources, and the course supports the DOE mission by educating new users in the applications of this technique.

The course will be open to 80 participants, selected based on their application materials.

• Wednesday, November 2 and Thursday, November 3 will be devoted to lectures and demonstrations of the software packages.
• Friday, November 4 will be devoted to the practical session, in which participants will practice problem solving methods discussed in the previous days. Registered participants will have an option to analyze their own data, in addition to the projects chosen for training purpose.
