The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
The study of "chemical" processes using synchrotron radiation.
This workshop will concentrate on the use of SR to monitor and explore chemical changes in a variety of systems, including catalysts in operando, solution precipitation and phase evolution, and solid state reactions using different SR Techniques such as XAS, XRD and SAXS. These processes take place on the seconds to hours timescale and diffferent techniques suit different processes. In this workshop we hope to explore what the respective areas can learn from each other.
