XIV School on Synchrotron Radiation: Fundamentals, Methods and Applications

The main topics will be:

• Production and properties of synchrotron radiation;
• Free electron lasers;
• Basics of the interaction between matter and radiation;
• X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES);
• X-ray diffraction (single crystal and powder diffraction, anomalous scattering);
• Small angle X-ray scattering;
• X-ray microscopy;
• Photoemission (from valence and from core levels; angular, time and spin resolved);
• IR spectroscopy and microscopy;
• Imaging;
• Resonant spectroscopy and diffraction;
• Inelastic X-ray scattering.
• Applications in the fields of materials, nanoscience, magnetism, catalysis, earth science, environmental science, cultural heritage, biology and medicine will be presented.
