Overview

This is the first workshop jointly organised by beamlines I14 and I18, aiming to provide training for the analysis of elemental imaging XRF and XANES data from the nano- and micro- probes.

The majority of the three-day course will concentrate on PyMCa (developed by V.A. Solé at the ESRF) while a shorter session will give brief how-to introductions to MANTiS (developed by M. Lerotic at the APS) for XANES data interpretation. The course consists of a mixture of lectures covering basic principles and workshop sessions designed to teach participants the basics of data processing and analysis, for example fitting and quantification.

The workshop is primarily targeting users of I14 and I18 who have had recent data collections or are scheduled for beamtime and who have not used these software packages before. Users outside this immediate target audience might be selected if there are free places.

Agenda

We will update this section with an agenda closer to the event date.
