ALBA II Workshop on Scientific and Instrumental Advances in High Pressure techniques

Thursday 28 Oct 2021, 09:00 → 18:15 Europe/Madrid

ZOOM (Virtual)

Catalin Alexandru Popescu

The ALBA Synchrotron is going towards an important upgrade, ALBA II, impacting and enhancing the future characterization capabilities offered to the user community.

High Pressure program is one of the Alba scientific programs that has to compete with other scientific areas serving wide user community. In this context it is critical that HP techniques fit in the big picture of Alba II and the participation of the user community and its input will definitely be an important asset for developing the HP program and defining the vision of the synchrotron-based research in Alba. The workshop is organized in virtual mode and we encourage all users who plan to use synchrotron capabilities to participate in the Alba workshop.

Topics to be addressed:

• Synchrotron characterization at extreme conditions (9:00 – 10:55 CET)
• Functional materials under non-ambient conditions (11:10 – 12:50)
• High Pressure in Earth Science (14:10 – 15:50)
• Round table: open discussions (16:05 – 18:00)
