Agenda - please note the following timings are GMT (UK time zone):
09:00-10:00 | A new Coherent Soft X-Ray Imaging and Diffraction (CSXID) Beamline
A new beamline on Diamond-II is proposed to study functional materials using soft x-ray 3D tomography. The combination of an intense and versatile polarised x-ray source, with a high coherent fraction, and advanced sample environments will allow, for instance, detailed investigations of quantum materials, energy materials, magnetic materials and operando catalysis. The webinar is designed to discuss the range of science enabled by the new beamline and develop its technical performance.
Chaired by: Paolo Radaelli, University of Oxford
09:00-09:15: An overview of the CSXID Beamline for Diamond-II - Sarnjeet Dhesi, Diamond Light Source

10:00-11:00 | The I16 upgrade for Diamond-II
The I16 upgrade will enhance the current provision for resonant and magnetic diffraction, offering new opportunities in Coherent Diffraction Imaging, allowing detailed insights into the structural properties of functional materials. The upgrade will take advantage of the decreased horizontal source size and divergence of Diamond-II to transform the diffractometer to a horizontal geometry, improving stability and enabling a host of versatile sample environments such as high magnetic fields or very low temperatures. The new facility will include a highly-automated miniature robotic diffractometer for rapid sample screening and reciprocal space mapping. The webinar is designed to capture the scientific challenges that the upgrade will address and discuss the technical requirements of the equipment.

11:00-12:00 | The I21 Upgrade for Diamond-II
Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) gives detailed insights into the collective excitations of advanced materials and has uncovered a wealth of new phenomena owing to significantly improved energy resolution. The Diamond-II upgrade will allow the I21 to further improve its energy resolution, the photon throughput, and enable spatially resolved RIXS to map electronic inhomogeneity. The webinar is designed to discuss the scientific challenges that the upgrade will address and the technical solution for the equipment.
