General Lab Information

About this Course

X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a core technique of the DOE synchrotron user facilities and attracts diverse scientific communities. This 3-day course offered by NSLS-II experts will introduce XAS data analysis for new and prospective users and provide an opportunity to perform real experiments at NSLS-II XAS beamlines. The first day will be devoted to fundamentals of XAS analysis, data reduction and processing, and basics of XAS experiments and instrumentation.

Participants will be trained hands-on on XAS data analysis of increasing complexity. Modern XAS methods such as high-resolution spectroscopy will also be introduced. On the third day, the participants will participate in the experiments at XAS beamlines and analyze the data they collect.
