Scope of the Workshop

 

This workshop is organised in the context of BioXHIT Section 2, Synchrotron technologies, work-packages 2.1 Assurance of high quality and stability of the X-ray beam at synchrotron source and 2.2 Software systems for automatic delivery of the X-ray beam to the sample. The main emphasis of th workshop will be software technologies for automatically aligning, monitoring and maintaining the X-ray beam up to the sample position.

Goal of the Workshop

The workshop has two main goals:

  • Share information between software developers at synchrotron radiation facilities.
  • Create collaborations in order to develop integrated software that can be shared in general by synchrotron radiation facilities and in particular by BioXHIT participants.
