Workshop 1
Application of Advanced X-ray Techniques to Industrial Research
May 5
Bldg. 402, Lecture Hall
8:50 am – 12:00 pm
1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Organizers: Steve Heald, Dean Haeffner, Jin Wang, Randall Winans (APS)
Synchrotron methods have long been applied to industrial problems. Foremost among these have been standard diffraction and XAFS methods. In recent years a number of more advanced methods have been developed that could have application to industrial problems. These include high speed imaging, x-ray Raman and other advanced spectroscopies, and new techniques using high energy x-rays. Such methods can be applied to such diverse problems as in-situ studies of batteries and catalysts, advanced materials for energy applications, and imaging of fuel sprays in internal combustion engines. These capabilities may not be as widely appreciated in the industrial community as the more standard techniques. This workshop will survey the current and future applications of some of these newer techniques. It will also look at how the APS upgrade could enhance opportunities for industrial research.
