Welcome: IXS@NSLS-II Workshop Overview of the Workshop Yong Cai NSLS-II February 7-8, 2008
Purpose of this Workshop • The Project Beamline • Present the current design of the beamline aiming to achieve the 0.1meV resolution goal of NSLS-II for IXS • Discuss the scientific drivers and the technical requirements and specifications of the beamline • Establish the Beamline Advisory Team (BAT) for the project beamline • The Letter of Interest (LOI) for the project beamline – primary deliverable of the workshop • Beyond the Project Beamline • Discuss the scientific and instrumentation needs of the IXS community beyond the project beamline • Establish a working group to contribute to the CD0 for a suite of beamlines to be funded by the MIE money
Workshop Agenda • Overview • John Hill: Overview of NSLS-II, model for beamline development • Yong Cai: IXS program at NSLS-II and current project beamline design • Xianrong Huang / Zhong Zhong: Status and progress of 0.1meV R&D at NSLS-II • Michael Krisch: Next generation science with IXS • Project Beamline – 0.1-1meV Science • Soft matter and biomaterials (Sow-Hsin Chen, Tim Sage) • Glassy and disordered systems (Filippo Bencivenga, Tullio Scopigno) • Strongly correlated materials (Steve Shapiro) • Materials under high pressure (Ho-Kwang Mao) • Instrumentation and current status at APS (Ercan Alp, Yuri Shvyd’ko) • Beyond the Project Beamline – 10-50meV Science ... • Charge dynamics (Wei Ku, Peter Abbamonte, Young-June Kim) • Materials under high pressure (Ho-Kwang Mao) • Instrumentation and current status at APS (Yuri Shvyd’ko)
Discussion Sessions: Towards the LOI • The Scientific Case for the Beamline(s) • What are the key scientific drivers for the beamline(s)? • How will NSLS-II impact this field? • What unique capabilities will it provide? • Which scientific questions will these capabilities address? • The Technical Requirements and Specifications of the Beamline(s) • Choice of insertion device(s), straight section, tuning range, brightness, flux, … • Energy and momentum resolution and scan range, polarization, beam size, detector(s), stability, … • Sample environments, on and off line sample handling capabilities, … • Data acquisition and analysis, computing support, any other user needs, … • Membership of the Beamline Advisory Team (BAT) • Outline of the Letter of Interest (LOI) for the Project Beamline
Questions to Think About • What novel experiments would you perform with this beamline? • What instrumentation and infrastructure would you need at this beamline? • What other IXS capabilities and beamlines would you need for your research at NSLS-II? All questions and suggestions are welcome!
