Workshop: Remote Beamline Access

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 (full day workshop)

Description:

Recently developments in making synchrotron beamlines more easily accessible to user communities have centered on providing remote access, in essence creating a network enabled platform for doing science. This work originally started in the protein crystallography area and is now spreading to other beamlines. Increasingly these systems have adopted Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web Services to provide this capability. This workshop covers several projects in this areas as well as exploring the use of SOA and Web Services in the broader synchrotron community for both beamlines and accelerator systems.

Workshop: Engineering for Low Emittance

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 (half day - AM workshop)

Description: 

Low-emittance designs of the light sources place stringent engineering requirements for the accelerator magnets, their support and alignment systems, and the tunnel environment affecting vibration and thermal stability. This workshop will focus on mechanical engineering designs, analyses and performances of these systems at the various light sources including those presently under design and construction.

Workshop: Future Directions for Synchrotron Radiation Photoemission

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 (half day - AM workshop)

Description: 

Photoemission is a long-established synchrotron favorite, but is its day over? We think not. Come and discuss new developments in traditional techniques such as angle- and spin-resolved photoemission, and hear about the cutting edge of less familiar techniques -   high kinetic energies (>2 keV), photoemission from insulators, and photoemission microscopy.

Workshop: Correlative Microscopy, at the Synchrotron and Beyond

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 (half day - PM workshop)

Description:

With diverse synchrotron spectromicroscopy techniques (IR, STXM, PEEM, microprobe, etc) located under one roof, new opportunities for correlative, multi-technique studies arise. This workshop will explore scientific opportunities made possible by the correlation of different synchrotron spectroscopic imaging modalities as well as the correlation of synchrotron and non-synchrotron microscopy

The goals of this workshop are to develop the community of microscopy users at the CLS by highlighting scientific successes, communicating best practices and addressing the technical challenges of multi-mode and multi-wavelength correlative imaging.

Workshop: Cryogenic Systems for Light Sources

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 (half day - PM workshop)

Description:

Recent advancements in cryocooler technology as well as improvements and cost reduction of superconductive technology open the door for common use of cryogenic devices. This trend should continue with the advances in high-temperature SC technologies that will require very simple and reliable cooling devices to operate. This workshop will focus on emerging technologies in cryogenic field and new applications of the cryogenics in synchrotron design and upgrades. Specifically we will concentrate on heat-load analysis of the insertion devices, zero-boiloff systems, sub-cooled systems and new technological developments: superbends, SC wigglers and undulators. Specific issues related to cryogenic systems applications will be addressed.
