The Imaging Groups of the Australian Synchrotron (AS) and the Neutron Imaging Beamline of the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) are holding a 3-day ANSTO X-Ray and Neutron Imaging workshop at the Australian Synchrotron (AS). The workshop will be of interest to honours and PhD students, as well as early-career researchers who have used, or are planning to use one of the following ANSTO beamlines: IMBL, MCT and DINGO.   

This workshop will have limited seats of 40 participants only and priority will be given to Early Career Researchers and PhD students with synchrotron or neutron data experience or allocated beamtime scheduled.  Lectures and demonstrations will be presented by the beamline teams and expert users of the instruments. Besides the primary goals, the event will bring together researchers from multiple national organizations allowing for establishment of new collaborations and joint projects.

Aim

This workshop aims to cover all stages of sample analysis beginning at sample preparation, experimental setup through to instrument characterization, data processing and qualitative and quantitative analysis. 

Topics will include: principles of X-ray and neutron transmission imaging and computed tomography; data collection, management and processing; proposal writing and tips on planning your experiment. Series of lectures and practical sessions will cover both general topics applicable to all imaging experiments as well as questions specific for each instrument.
