Program Outline

Open SESAME & Instruct-ERIC Workshop on Remote X-ray Data Collection from European Synchrotrons at the Weizmann Institute of Science (May 14-18, 2018)

DLS:

Experiments will be carried out on I04 beamline http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/I04.html. This is a tuneable beamline with variable beam size from 5 – 100 mm, has a 25 Hz Pilatus 6M, and is equipped with a Smargon multi-axis goniometer. Remote control by installing locally NoMachine software.

ESRF:

Experiments will be carried out on ID29, a tunable microbeam with tunable wavelength (6 - 20 keV) http://www.esrf.eu/id29, using MxCUBE3, remote control via Chrome web-browser.

 

All remote data collection will be done in the Data collection room.

All students will have an opportunity to carry out remote data collection, according to a schedule that will be prepared by Orly Dym and Kristian Koski

All other lectures, tutorials and data processing will be at The David Lopatie conference centre, Kimmel Hall (except for Monday May 14 which will be at the Candiotty Building Lecture Hall).
