The Advanced Photon Source
a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility

Hybrid First Experiments Workshop for X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) beamline at the APS

Three-dimensional engineering model of the small-angle and the wide-angle XPCS instrument and a simulated speckle pattern.

The Advanced Photon Source will hold a hybrid workshop to explore ideas for potential first experiments at the XPCS beamline at 8-ID. This hybrid workshop will take place over two full-day sessions:

  • Hard matter XPCS: Tuesday, July 18, 2023, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT
  • Soft matter XPCS: Wednesday, July 19, 2023, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT

Attendees can participate in person at the APS or remotely. The workshop will be streamed live, and remote attendees will be able to participate in discussions.

Please register for the XPCS First Experiments Workshop by filling out this registration form and indicating which sessions you will attend, and whether you will attend in person or virtually. Those attending in person will receive gate passes and instructions in a follow-up email. Those attending virtually will also receive instructions for how to join the meeting remotely in a follow-up e-mail. Please register by June 27.
