X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) Data Analysis Workshop 2023

Jun 14. till Jun 16.

XAS Data Analysis Workshop 2023

The workshop is intended for new users of Diamond spectroscopy beamlines with a basic understanding of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). The workshop will include a brief introduction to XAS/XANES/EXAFS but it will mainly focus on how to process and analyse EXAFS data from a "starting from scratch" level.

The main aim of this workshop is to train new users to effectively process and analyze their data.

The workshop will take place at Diamoond Light Source from the early afternoon on Wednesday 14th June, until mid-afternoon on Friday 16th June 2023.

The aim of this workshop is to teach new and nearly-new users of the Diamond Light Source spectroscopy beamlines:

  • how to process and analyse EXAFS data using the package Demeter from a "starting from scratch" level (this is the main part of the course)
  • a brief introduction to XANES spectroscopy

The workshop will be delivered by Diamond Light Source staff and will consists of a mixture of lectures and workshop sessions designed to teach participants the basics of data processing and analysis using the latest PC versions of Athena and Artemis in the package Demeter.

The workshop requires access to a laptop and attendees are requested to bring their own, although a number of computers are available for those attendees who don't have access to one.

The programs used for the workshop are freely available in Windows, Linux and Mac.
