Priority Topics for the Call for Abstracts
To foster discussions around emerging scientific opportunities based on ALBA II, the next ALBA Users' Meeting will particularly welcome contributions in the scientific focus areas of ALBA and with focus on the three pillars of the upgrade, multimodal imaging, high throughput experimental techniques and data analytics, as well as operando, in-situ and in/ex-vivo applications. With organizing three parallel sessions for chemical and material sciences, magnetism and electronic structure as well as life sciences, we invite you to present your own work but also give you an overview on different aspects currently discussed in the community.
The discussion on multimodal imaging will be centered on the combination of Electron Microcopy with atomic and subatomic resolution, coherence-based and full-field techniques to reveal nano-scale morphologies, MicroSpectroscopy as well as MicroDiffraction for exploring chemical and structural properties on the micrometer-scale in the various fields of catalysis, energy storage, magnetism and device physics, material sciences and materials growth as well as system and cellular biology.
The growing importance of Artificial Intelligent (AI) driven discovery will be reflected in talks concentrated on all aspects of Autonomous Material Growth and its integration with synchrotron light facilities. This includes any aspects of required hardware, software, and pipeline development, task-, workflow- and integrated framework management systems, as well as any experiences in operating an AI lab within a shared data space.
The third direction is centering on understanding matter and organisms in their working environment. This includes data analytical approaches for revealing the metamorphoses within the system, sample environments and their optimization to mimic realistic working conditions, as well as dynamical studies on the different relevant time scales.
Respecting the upbringing of 3Sbar, we would also like to dedicate talks and posters to Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) as well as surface diffraction within chemical and material sciences. Similarly, our life science section welcomes contributions in the field of Time-resolved Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) and Time-resolved Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) reflecting the focus of time resolved techniques within life sciences at ALBA.
