Description

The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will host the second Workshop on Synchrotron Techniques Under High Pressure (PRESSYNC), dedicated to recent advancements and prospects in high-pressure science. This two-day workshop will be held on November 4 and 5, 2024, as one of the satellite workshops of the 34th LNLS Annual Users Meeting. 

The workshop aims to bring together global leaders in high-pressure science and researchers from the Brazilian community to discuss the state of the art in high-pressure science conducted at fourth-generation synchrotrons. Researchers at different stages of their scientific careers are expected to participate, promoting connections between junior and senior researchers, and further strengthening the high-pressure community. 

The first edition of PRESSYNC was held in 2019, focusing on motivating the Brazilian high-pressure community and discussing the possibilities of experiments on the then-future extreme conditions beamline, EMA. In this second edition, with the EMA beamline now operational and scientific proposals being executed, the event will promote discussions on the advancements achieved so far and gather ideas to expand the range of high-pressure experiments at Sirius.
