EBS-Dedicated Workshops in 2019 & 2020
In 2020, the ESRF will restart with a brand new source, the Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS), and the challenge for our scientific community will be to learn and understand how to fully exploit the properties of this new source to enhance the scientific research carried out at the ESRF.
To this end, the ESRF is organising a series of "EBS Workshops" in 2019 & 2020. These workshops will cover a multitude of topics, with the aim of gathering together users, staff and other experts to discuss and identify strategies for performing the best experiments with this new source.
This webpage gives an overview of the EBS workshops being organised, and the information shown will be continually updated as workshop dates are finalised, registration deadlines are set and workshop web pages appear. Please remember to check this webpage regularly to avail of the latest information.

1. Time resolved science at ID09 and its synergy with EuXFEL programme
| Dates of the workshop | 4-5 March 2019 |
| Expected number of participants | 60 |
| Scientific organisers | M. Wulff and M. Levantino |
| Administrative Assistant(s) | Fabienne Mengoni, Isabelle Combe |
| Contact email | fxe@esrf.fr |
| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 13 February 2019 |
| Workshop webpage link | FXE Workshop |
Scope
The EBS will be a great improvement for laser pump/X-ray probe experiments on ID09. However, the ultimate time resolution in pump-probe experiments is limited by the X-ray pulse length which will remain 100 ps from the EBS. The FXE beamline at the EuXFEL has similar setups to ID09 but the time resolution is dramatically lower (< 100 fs). The aim of the workshop is to discuss the overlap and complementarity of the two beamlines and to strengthen the collaboration.
Short report
This workshop opened the series of EBS workshops and took place at the ESRF on 4th and 5th March 2019. It was organized and funded jointly by the ESRF and the European XFEL (EuXFEL) in Hamburg.
The aim was to review the experiments on ID09, the beamline for time resolved structural dynamics and its sister beamline FXE at EuXFEL, the beamline for femtosecond X-ray experiments, and to discuss the role of ID09 in the EBS era.
23 speakers were invited to present their vision for the two beamlines to help define a European policy for time resolved experiments. The two beamlines are highly complementary: the super intense 100 femtosecond X-ray pulses from FXE is giving users new access to the fundamental time scale in chemistry, the breakage and formation of bonds in molecules, electron transfer and coherent motions. In contrast, the longer 100 ps synchrotron pulse is ideal for probing the structure of reaction products with superior spatial resolution and with very low radiation damage. The talks were of very high quality and stimulated very fruitful discussions.
2. Nuclear resonance scattering at the Extremely Brilliant Source
| Dates of the workshop | 11-12 March 2019 |
| Expected number of participants | 50 |
| Scientific organisers | A. Chumakov, R. Rüffer, D. Bessas |

| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 10/02/2019 - Registration is open |
| Workshop webpage link | www.esrf.fr/nrs-workshop |
Scope
With the new Extremely Brilliant Source, the nuclear resonance beamline will offer users an order of magnitude improvement in energy resolution (50 µeV) and two orders of magnitude improvement in beam size (200 nm × 200 nm). The aim of the workshop is to discuss and identify key scientific cases which will benefit most from nuclear resonance scattering with the Extremely Brilliant Source.
Short report
The workshop took place at ESRF on 11th and 12th March 2019 and gathered 65 participants from 14 countries. The programme included 17 invited talks and 17 poster presentations, and was devoted to the foreseen development of the nuclear resonance beamline in frame of the ESRF-EBS upgrade programme.
The discussion focussed in particular, on nano-scale physics, enabled by a nanoscope allowing for a spatial resolution of ~200 nm, and on micro-eV atomic dynamics feasible with the foreseen development of a hard X-ray spectrograph with the energy resolution of ~50 micro-eV. Another lively discussed issue was an analysing of previous scientific breakthroughs in nuclear resonance scattering and suggestions of new routes in scientific, methodological, and instrumental development of the technique.
Participants were very much interested to learn more about the ESRF upgrade programme in general, and specifically about the future of the nuclear resonance beamline at the ESRF. On their request, a visit to the ESRF experimental hall and to ID18 was organized, with a greatly appreciated help of Rainer Wilcke.
The audience appreciated the high quality of presen-tations, as well as the high attendance of the meeting, with nearly entirely filled auditorium. They also appreciated the excellent administrative work of Eva Jahn-Feppon, enabling comfortable and pleasant running of the meeting.
3. X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy probing low Z elements using hard X-rays
| Dates of the workshop | 3-5 April 2019 |

| Registration deadline | 3rd March 2019 |
| Workshop webpage link | http://www.esrf.fr/xrs-workshop |
Scope
ID20 hosts a worldwide unique spectrometer to study low energy absorption edges using hard X-rays. The workshop aims to bring together experts and novices in the field to collectively assess and discuss the current status, potential, and future prospects for this emerging inelastic X-ray scattering technique. We wish to strengthen the current user community, define future research directions, and guide the worldwide efforts to build new dedicated end-stations.
Short report
More than 50 people from 7 countries and 3 continents came together in the ESRF auditorium from 3rd to 5th April to discuss recent, present, and future aspects of X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy. The programe included 24 oral and 16 poster presentations and covered many aspects of the small but growing field of this non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering technique.
The workshop included seven sessions, the first of which was a session on instrumentation focusing on the capabilities of the ID20 instrument on the one hand and highlighting the efforts at other synchrotron facilities to likewise provide next generation XRS spectrometers on the other hand. A growing number of dedicated end stations in Europe and worldwide will help form a strong and growing XRS user community. A session on theory and computational aspects demonstrated the range of readily available computer codes to calculate XRS spectra based on atomic structural models. The ease of measuring soft X-ray absorption spectra of liquids at ambient conditions was well highlighted in a session on liquid systems. A dedicated session on high pressure science is proof of the extraordinary capabilities of measuring low energy X-ray absorption spectra using sample-environment-penetrating hard X-rays. The unique aspects of the achievable variable momentum transfer in XRS were clear when a new approach to directly image electronic orbitals in strongly correlated electron systems was presented during the session dedicated to this topic. Finally, a large interest from a growing number of users from the energy materials was apparent in a last session on energy materials.
All participants welcomed the efforts of the ESRF in the field of XRS in general, appreciated the effort to organize this workshop in particular, and committed to future meetings of similar kind.

The main objectives of this event were to present state-of-the-art extreme condition science and instrumentation, propose practical works and discuss the new scientific opportunities that the EBS upgrade will offer.
The programme featured 34 invited lectures, poster sessions and practical works for the students. Introductory lectures covering specific instrumental aspects were followed by presentations at the frontier of the field. For instance, Dr Florent Occelli (CEA, Paris, France) presented the first experimental evidence of hydrogen metallization in the multi-megabar DAC and Prof. Tetsuo Irifune (Ehime, Matsuyama, Japan) demonstrated the feasibility of megabar experiments using nano-polycrystalline diamonds coupled to large volume presses (sample sizes of few cubic millimeters). The high-level lectures were complemented by daily practical works at several ESRF beamlines and laboratories providing basic and advanced courses in high-pressure in situ instrumentation. Finally, the workshop was also a forum to discuss the future science directions in the context of the EBS and establish multi-disciplinary collaborations.

Scope
The heterogeneous devices which will play a role in the future green energy economy, such as batteries, solar cells, super-capacitors etc, rely on complex interactions over many length scales. This workshop will focus on the application of established and emerging synchrotron experimental techniques to understanding problems from the energy sector, and investigate new opportunities following the ESRF EBS upgrade.
Short report
The ESRF-EBS Workshop on “Emerging synchrotron techniques for characterization of energy materials and devices” took place at the ESRF on 23th-25th September 2019.
Featuring 8 invited speakers, 14 oral contributors and about 100 participants from Europe, North Africa, Brazil, Canada, India and Russia, the scientific scope of the workshop was the application of established and emerging synchrotron techniques for the structural characterization of energy materials and devices.
Introduced by the Director of Research Jean Susini, the scientific presentations from both the invited speakers and the oral contributors were of outstanding quality and ranged over a number of high profile technological topics relevant to modern society. The talks stimulated exchange among users and ESRF staff about the new experimental possibilities and how best to profit from the ESRF EBS upgrade, with experiments gaining in temporal and spatial resolution, increasing the possibility of studying more complex materials. Furthermore, multi technique (in-situ and operando) experiments will become even more essential for understanding and optimizing properties over many length scales.
The organizers waived registration fees for 11 young researchers to encourage them to attend the workshop, and among them, 5 selected candidates received a travel bursary to cover travel expenses to Grenoble. The 38 posters remained on display in the ESRF mezzanine and in the coffee area during the full 3 days of the workshop and four poster prizes were awarded to the best posters.

Short report
More than seventy scientists from over ten different countries in Europe, USA and Japan gathered at the ESRF to participate in the EBS Workshop on X-ray Spectroscopy of Magnetic Materials (XSMM) on October 7th -9th, 2019.
The XSMM workshop has demonstrated to be a fruitful forum for informal discussion of developments of synchrotron-radiation-based research on magnetism – the flourishing field of science, and one in which the ESRF is at the forefront.
The ESRF beamlines ID12, ID32, ID24 and ID26 offer unique possibilities in the field of magnetic spectroscopy under multiple extreme conditions of high magnetic field, ultralow temperatures and high pressure as well as magnetic dichroism in Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering. In addition, Mossbauer spectroscopy could be exploited at beamline ID18 to probe specific atomic sites yielding microscopic information on the magnetic properties of “XMCD-silent” materials.
The workshop was organised in sessions dedicated to specific scientific topics, experimental techniques as well as theoretical advances. The talks given by the best specialists in the field allowed all the participants to have a comprehensive view of the latest achievements and of the envisioned developments in the area of magnetic spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, in particular of the emerging new opportunities offered by the ESRF-EBS project.
8. Short-pulse Science with the Extremely Brilliant Source
| Dates of the workshop | 28-29 October 2019 |
| Expected number of participants | 50 |
| Scientific organisers | P. Glatzel, M. Levantino, A. Rack, D. de Sanctis, N. Theyencheri, M. Wulff |
| Administrative Assistant(s) | Chantal Argoud, Eva Jahn |
| Contact email | ebspulse@esrf.fr |
| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 29 September 2019 |
| Workshop webpage link | short pulse science workshop |
Scope
The dramatic increase in the brilliance from the EBS will be a great advantage for all time resolved experiments and many experiments will be done with very short or even single-pulse exposures. The aim of the workshop is to discuss how to prepare the beamlines involved in scattering (SAXS/WAXS), spectroscopy (XES), imaging (XRI) and diffraction (XRD) applied to dynamic compression and/or structural dynamics studies for this new era.
Short report
The workshop “Short Pulse Science with the Extremely Brilliant Source” in the framework of the EBS workshop series, took place on 28th to 29th October 2019 in the auditorium. It was animated by 21 invited speakers and 5 ESRF beamline scientists.
The meeting was attended by 30 participants from Europe and 20 local participants from the EPN campus. The presentations covered the following techniques: time-resolved diffraction, scattering, spectroscopy, imaging and dynamic compression for studies ranging from fundamental physics to structural biology. The experiments all exploit the 100 picosecond X-ray pulse produced by single bunches in the storage ring for “filming” fast processes as a function of time. New results from X-ray diffraction, X-ray imaging and X-ray fluorescence dominated the meeting. Thanks to the EBS, experiments with higher spatial resolution will be feasible in the near future.
The workshop ended with a round table discussion where among others things different access models were discussed. The programme of the workshop as well as speakers' abstracts can be found at http://www.esrf.fr/shortpulse-workshop.

| Contact email | xes-workshop@esrf.fr |
| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 3rd November 2019 |
| Workshop webpage link | http://www.esrf.fr/xes-workshop |
Scope
Several beamlines at the ESRF have added X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) to their portfolio and further installations are planned with EBS. The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of the new possibilities provided by XES and to obtain feedback from the user community concerning pertinent applications that require further instrumental development (e.g. sample environment, time and spatial resolution).
Short report
100 scientists from 18 countries met at the ESRF from 3rd to 5th December to discuss instrumentation, applications and theory of X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES).
This technique is a cousin – or rather grandfather - of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) but with the scientific questions more focused on chemical problems in (bio)catalysis, materials, environmental and geo-science rather than solid state physics and magnetism. 32 participants gave talks and 32 posters were presented. Three sponsors financially supported the event.
The first two sessions on instrumental developments in XES showed the great variety of spectrometers that are used at synchrotron radiation sources but also in laboratories that rely on other sources of X-rays. The presentations on innovative X-ray instrumentation attracted many ESRF staff members and the auditorium was filled beyond the number of registered participants. Some scientific cases where XES was able to address long-standing problems were presented in the following sessions. One full session was dedicated to actinide research where XES has recently made significant impact.
The workshop ended with two sessions on data analysis and theory that documented the dramatic improvement in theoretical modeling but also the limitations in the understanding of some of the data. The audience participated in all sessions with very lively discussions. The new possibilities with EBS particularly on ID24-DCM triggered the imagination of many participants and new ideas were debated over coffee and dinner.
10. Sample Modulation by High Photon Densities: Desired and Undesired Effects
| Dates of the workshop | 11-13 December 2019 |
| Expected number of participants | 60 |
| Scientific organisers | Peter Glatzel, Narayan Theyencheri, Manfred Burghammer, Alexander Popov |
| Administrative Assistant(s) | Anne-Françoise Maydew, Sonya Girodon |
| Contact email | sample.modulation@esrf.fr |
| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 22 November 2019 |
| Workshop registration page |
Scope
The interaction of X-rays with a sample or its environment may affect an experiment in an undesired fashion. This may concern the atomic structure, crystal structure or chemical state (radiation damage) but also other parameters such as sample temperature and sample environment (gases, liquids). This workshop will provide a forum for discussing our observations and proposing measures that address the problem.
Short report
The higher photon densities that will become available with EBS at the ESRF beamlines makes the problem of radiation damage even more pertinent to all ESRF staff and users. In some cases, changes of the sample induced by X-rays achieve a wanted effect. A workshop held at the ESRF 11-13 December 2019 aimed addressed “Sample modulations by high photon densities – desired and undesired effects”. 67 participants attended the workshop with 25 speakers. Participation was heavily impacted by the strike and 3 talks were given by video conference while one talk had to be cancelled. The topic of radiation damage has been thoroughly discussed and documented by the community of macromolecular crystallographers but the topic is much less a matter of research elsewhere. Dose limits may vary considerably depending on the type of sample and the applied technique to characterize the damage. Mitigation strategies may concern the sample preparation and conditions during measurements, X-ray characteristic (energy, pulse duration), data treatment, but also improvements of the X-ray detection chain. Desired effects of X-rays can be, e.g., local changes of the conductivity, emulating the effects of heavy ion impact and combining cause with diagnose when X-rays reproduce modifications that are otherwise achieved using optical or thermal excitations. The organizers are particular grateful to the ESRF staff for their excellent presentations. The attending researchers engaged in long and spirited discussions.
11. Cultural and Natural Heritage at EBS-ESRF
| Dates of the workshop | 22-24 January 2020 |
| Expected number of participants | 80 |
| Scientific organisers | M. Cotte, P.-O. Autran, C. Berruyer, N. Blanc, C. Dejoie, P. Tafforeau |

| Contact email | heritage-ebs@esrf.fr |
| Venue | ESRF Auditorium |
| Registration deadline | 15 December 2019 |
| Workshop webpage link | https://www.esrf.eu/heritage-workshop |
Scope
Whether through the X-ray tomography of million-years old fossils or the micro-analysis of fragments from impressionists’ paintings, the Cultural and Natural Heritage community is increasingly exploiting the ESRF instruments. Recent achievements and discoveries in palaeontology, archaeology and art science, based on the application of a large variety of X-ray techniques, will be highlighted. The emerging new opportunities offered by the ESRF-EBS X-ray source as well as the improved and imminent beamlines will be thoroughly discussed. Besides, two satellites sessions will be proposed: one as an introduction session to explain basic principles of the ESRF to non-experts and one comprising two tutorials on data analysis and one practical on X-ray tomography.
Short report
A record number of more than 150 persons registered for the Cultural and Natural Heritage workshop among whom only 40% were already ESRF users. This may explain the very high attendance to the optional introduction that was proposed prior to the workshop, and where attendees could learn about the ESRF and its main techniques (tomography, diffraction and spectroscopy), as well as the best ways to write a proposal.
The workshop itself was split into seven sessions: two in the field of paleontology, two in the field of “materials, processes and chaînes opératoires”, one related to conservation and alteration, one focused on inks and papyrus, and one about deep and machine learning. All the talks were of very high quality, not only illustrating recent exemplary applications of synchrotron techniques to the study of cultural and natural heritage, but also pointing out the expectations of the community in terms of sample size, acquisition speed and new methods to be offered in the future at the ESRF.
On the third day of the workshop, two tutorials and one practical were proposed, which were also very well attended.
The last two sessions were dedicated to the presentation of EBS and of related instrumental developments, highlighting the groundbreaking capabilities that will be offered through the ESRF upgrade phase 2 (thanks to the new source, new beamlines and new instruments). The future BM18 and future depth-resolved diffraction set-up at ID22 notably received very strong interest. Finally, the workshop ended with presentations and a lively discussion about upstream and downstream challenges associated with these new instruments (e.g. access models and data policy) which are fundamental for making the experiments a success and which are the core of the Streamline European project, funding the event.
The social program included a poster session, a general public conference, a visit of 19th and 20th centuries collections and the workshop dinner at the Musée de Grenoble. Finally, a guided visit of Fontaine and Grenoble street art took place a the end of the workshop.The strike and actions downtown did not discourage the participants who enjoyed the entire programme.
Those who could not attend the workshop can catch up on the presentations via the Youtube streaming.
12. Dark-Field X-ray Microscopy for EBSL2
| Dates of the workshop | 15-17 April 2020 |

| Workshop webpage link |
http://www.esrf.fr/home/events/conferences/2020/dark-field-x-ray-microscopy-workshop.html |
Scope
Dark‐field X‐ray microscopy is a newly developed technique to measure orientation and strain in crystalline materials with spatial resolution down to 100 nm. At the end of the EBS shutdown, Beamline ID06 HXRM will be the first instrument worldwide to offer this technique via a general user programme. Furthermore, the project has been selected as one of the Upgrade Beamlines, EBSL2, to be constructed on ID03.
The aim of the proposed workshop is to present this new instrument and seed a new user community, and, via discussions with potential users, to determine the needs of future users for instrumentation such as sample environments, auxiliary measurements, sample preparation, etc.

| Venue | ESRF Auditorium | |
| Registration deadline | 7 June 2020 | |
| Workshop webpage link | https://www.esrf.eu/dycomax-workshop |
Scope
Dynamic compression offers a route to extreme conditions of pressure and temperature that go beyond what is possible today by static compression. Exotic states of matter can be attained, such as Warm Dense Matter, relevant for planetary science, fundamental science and energy science. In recent years, dynamic compression has witnessed a revolution thanks to the coupling of powerful lasers or other shock-generating devices to X-rays brilliant probes, opening new exciting opportunities for the scientific community.
The aim of the workshop is to discuss recent results and new scientific frontiers that can be explored thanks to this combination and inspire new projects and collaborations in particular in view of the opening of the High Power Laser Facility (HPLF-I) at the ESRF, coupling a nsec, 100J laser to time-resolved X-ray Absorption on beamline ID24.
