SCOPE

This tutorial provides a general introduction to X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques (mainly XANES and EXAFS). It consists of three different parts:

Introduction to XAS: The Whys, The Whats and The Hows (9:00-12:00)
Kirill Lomachenko

General introductory lecture that will highlight the physical bases of the XAS methods, the types of structural and electronic information that can be extracted from XAS data, the variety of XAS data analysis approaches, the peculiarities of XAS experimental setups, as well as the recent case-studies carried out at ESRF.

Parallel sessions (13:30-16:30):

• Introduction on XANES, X-ray Raman and valence to core X-ray emission spectroscopy
  Yves Joly
  
  After a short introduction on XANES, X-ray Raman, and valence to core X-ray Emission spectroscopy, and the specificities of FDMNES, the tutorial will allow to:

- Study the basic use of FDMNES
- Make a series of numerical experiments to see the sensitivity of the spectroscopies to the material geometry and the beam polarization
- Start a case study proposed by the participants
 

• Introduction on how to do a quantitative XAS data analysis
  Francesco D'Acapito

This tutorial provides an introduction on how to carry out a quantitative analysis of XAS data. A first part will be devoted to data reduction and a second part on strategies of data fitting. Single shell and multishell analysis will be presented making use of the DEMETER ( https://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/ ) program suite.

SCOPE

BLISS (BeamLine Instrumentation Support Software) is the new ESRF experiment control system that is used to run the beamlines following the ESRF Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade (ESRF-EBS). It provides a holistic approach to synchrotron experiments control. The scope of the project goes from hardware control up to the end-user interface. It is built as a modular pile of frameworks, that are orchestrated from one single command-line interface for users to be able to run their own custom scripts.

After a general presentation of the project and the basics explained, a practical session using BLISS will be offered with the aim to help users navigate the software more easily.

SCOPE

Coherent imaging analysis using PyNX will be presented within two sessions:

Morning session:

• Introduction to PyNX (http://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/scisoft/PyNX/doc/)
• 2D and 3D CDI (small-angle)
• Ptychography in the far field (& near field if requested)
• Holo-tomography (beta version)

Afternoon session (devoted to Bragg CDI):

• Bragg CDI reconstruction
• Introduction to bcdi (https://github.com/carnisj/bcdi): pre-processing and quantitative post-processing
• Notebook GUI/widget for Bragg CDI analysis & interpretation
