Invitation to lunch seminar 7 November

Exploring Neutron and X-ray Techniques in Natural Sciences: Opportunities and Potential

MAX IV, inaugurated in 2016, and the upcoming European Spallation Source (ESS), set to commence user operations in 2027, are two groundbreaking facilities located near the heart of Lund. These cutting-edge scientific resources have the potential to revolutionize research in the natural sciences.

During this seminar Professor Elizabeth Blackburn, will outline the main types of questions that can be addressed at these facilities, or, to put it another way, what types of information can be extracted, along with some simple guidelines for judging if these tools are useful and/or appropriate for a given problem.

Blackburn will also give some specific forward-looking perspectives, focusing more on possibilities at the ESS, that will draw on questions investigated by the networks established through LINXS, Institute of advanced Neutron and X-ray Science.

Date: 7 November
Time: 12:00-12:40
Location: Lundmarksalen (Lecture hall), Astronomihuset, Sölvegatan 27
Please register here no later than 6 November

This seminar is open to all members of the Science Faculty and anyone interested in the future of natural sciences and research possibilities. Please forward the invitation to anyone who could be interested.

Elizabeth Blackburn
Professor at Synchrotron Radiation Research, and theme leader of the New Materials theme at LINXS.

About LINXS
Established in 2017, LINXS is an advanced study institute whose mission is to promote science and education focusing on the use of neutrons and X-rays. LINXS’ work is based around Themes, governed by a core group, with multiple working groups connected to it. The themes develop networks, research and activities in different fields of science relevant for one or more of the LINXS focus areas: life science, soft matter and hard matter. A theme is a time-limited collaborative effort over about three years to enable a network of researchers to push the frontiers of research in a specific topic.
