The School will introduce young scientists to the design, operation, and research opportunities offered at a modern synchrotron light source and how such sources are realized.
The school will be held over two weeks and will consist of three modules: (1) Physical aspects concerning the design and function of the main components: accelerators, insertion devices and beamline optics; (2) Overview of the arguments that can be made in order to fund and build a synchrotron light source, including socioeconomic benefits, stakeholder engagement, communication; and (3) Overview of common beamline techniques, including those utilizing X-rays and infrared radiation.
