The workshop is intended for new users of Diamond spectroscopy beamlines with a basic understanding of X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). The workshop will include a brief introduction to XAS/XANES/EXAFS but it will mainly focus on how to process and analyse EXAFS data from a "starting from scratch" level.
The aim of the workshop is to teach new and nearly-new users of Diamond Light Source spectroscopy beamlines how to process and analyse their data.
Many users of the beamlines have limited experience in XAS and often struggle with interpreting their results. Successfully held since 2011, this course is a mixture of lectures and hands-on sessions degisnged to teach participants the basics of data processing and analysis.
The workshop will be deilvered by Diamond Light source staff and will consist of a mixture of lectures and worskhop sessions designed to teach participants the basics of data processing and analysis using the latest PC versions of Athena and Artemis in the package Demeter.
The workshop requires access to a laptop and attendees are requested to bring their own, although a number of computers are available for those attendees who don't have access to one.
The programs used for the workshop are freely available in Windows, Linux and Mac.
