The LabXSpec4 Training School offers a practical introduction to laboratory-based high energy-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, focusing on X-ray absorption (XAS) and emission spectroscopy (XES). This hands-on program is designed for early-stage researchers and PhD students with limited prior experience in laboratory-based X-ray spectroscopies.
Participants will gain practical insight skills in:
- Experimental setup and operation of laboratory-based X-ray spectrometers
- Sample preparation techniques and optimized measurement strategies
- Data acquisition and processing
The training school emphasizes close mentorship with a limited group size of 20 participants to ensure quality interaction and learning.
Key details:
- Date: March 19, 2026 (post-workshop day)
