The schedule below is a preliminary version and is subject to changes until the event date. We recommend checking this page regularly to stay updated on the SPSAS Synclyght 2024 schedule.

General topics to be covered in the speakers’ presentations:

  • Introduction to Synchrotron Accelerators and X-ray Techniques (INTRO)
  • Theory of Accelerators and Electron Storage Rings (AC)
  • Imaging of Biological Matter (MB)
  • Imaging of Heterogeneous Matter: Nanometric and Tomographic (MH)
  • Probing and Imaging in Condensed Matter: Electronic, Magnetic, and Microstructural Properties (MC)

In addition to the presentations, a poster session will be organized for discussions with the speakers. Each student will have the opportunity to present their research, and the three best posters will be selected. A guided tour of the tunnel housing the three electron accelerators that make up Sirius will also be organized.

Tutorials will be offered covering experiments on the LNLS/Sirius beamlines, control and manipulation of the Sirius electron accelerators, and data analysis and simulations. These tutorials will provide students with a solid foundation in various aspects of using advanced synchrotron radiation techniques.
