About LNLS Annual Users’ Meeting (RAU)

The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will hold the 32nd LNLS Annual Users’ Meeting (RAU) from 8 to 10 November 2022. The 32nd edition, RAU will take place at Sirius in CNPEM campus, at Campinas-SP with livestreaming.

The RAU meeting aims to gather researchers who use LNLS scientific instrumentation to perform cutting edge experiments in areas such as Materials Science, Health and Pharmacology, Environmental Science  Energy, Biotechnology, X-ray Imaging, Oil and Gas, Chemistry, and others. The event will promote the exchange of experiences between users and debates on future facilities, which shall be in operation in the coming years.

RAU is an important forum for discussion, evaluation, and presentation of proposals for the improvement of the research projects to be performed at the new Brazilian synchrotron light source, Sirius – one of the most advanced synchrotron machines in the world. The simultaneous operation and the ongoing Sirius commissioning make the participation of the scientific community essential to describe their needs and expectations for the new source. The RAU meeting is the ideal place to foster this debate.
