SSRL will be implementing a dedicated quick scanning monochromator for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (QEXAFS) on BL10-2 in the fall of 2021, making it the first such monochromator on a wiggler beamline. This exciting capability will open up new scientific opportunities in many areas of chemistry and catalysis. This workshop will bring together experts in the field and help define new opportunities especially in kinetics and dynamics of catalytic processes.
The session presentations will be broadcast through a Zoom webinar which can be accessed by the 'Join Broadcast' button that will be accessible on this page at the start of the 7:15 am session.
