Workshop on High Energy X-ray Techniques 2023, HEXT-2023

该项目将为高能x射线技术研讨会（HEXT）提供参与者支持，该研讨会将在康奈尔大学校园内的康奈尔高能同步加速器源（CHESS）举行。HEXT-2023研讨会旨在将来自材料研究与教育合作伙伴关系（PREM），物理研究与教育合作伙伴关系（PREP）和化学研究与教育合作伙伴关系（PREC）项目的学生带到国际象棋，参加为期数天的计划，旨在向学生介绍同步加速器方法。具体来说，参与者将熟悉同步加速器方法-包括衍射，光谱和成像-如何应用于解决材料研究，工程和生物学中的问题。研讨会将由三个主要部分组成：1)由国际象棋的科学家讲授同步加速器方法的基础知识，以及如何将这些方法应用于各种研究问题；2)动手演示，参与者在CHESS光束线上收集和处理数据；3)指导和指导如何为束时间撰写成功的提案，并有机会获得CHESS科学家的个性化反馈。在讲习班结束时，与会者应具备成为CHESS用户社区中富有成效的成员所需的知识和技能。为了给学生提供国际象棋科学家的专注和关注，HEXT-2023研讨会将于2023年5月15日至17日举行。通过举办研讨会而不与其他活动发生冲突，国际象棋的科学家将能够为学生提供不间断的指导。为了招募参加HEXT-2023研讨会的学生，将联系PREM、PREP和PREC项目的机构，并鼓励项目的pi /主任各提名两名学生参加研讨会。公告将在国际象棋网站和电子邮件列表以及康奈尔大学活动网站上发布。如果社区有足够的兴趣，会议演示将使用标准传输模式在互联网上同时播出，供无法前往伊萨卡康奈尔大学校园的参与者（演讲者或观众）使用。亲自参加将是优先事项，但事实证明，在旅行或个人困难使前往伊萨卡岛旅行无法进行的情况下，远程参与可能是有用的。远程观看者和参与者必须像所有其他参与者一样注册讲习班，从而促进记录保存和报告。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project will provide participant support for a workshop on High Energy X-ray techniques, HEXT, which will take place at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) on the campus of Cornell University. The HEXT-2023 workshop aims to bring students from institutions in the Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM), Partnership for Research and Education in Physics (PREP), and Partnership in Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) programs to CHESS for a multi-day program designed to introduce students to synchrotron methods. Specifically, participants will be familiarized with how synchrotron methods — including diffraction, spectroscopy, and imaging — that can be applied to address problems in materials research, engineering, and biology. The workshop will consist of three main components: 1) Didactic lectures by CHESS staff scientists that cover the fundamentals of synchrotron methods and how these can be applied to diverse research problems; 2) Hands-on demonstrations where participants collect and process data on CHESS beamlines; and 3) Instruction and coaching on how to write a successful proposal for beamtime, with the opportunity for personalized feedback from CHESS scientists. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants should have the knowledge and demonstrated skills to be productive members of the CHESS user community.To provide the students the dedicated focus and attention of CHESS scientists, the HEXT-2023 workshop will be held on May 15 – 17, 2023. By hosting the workshop without the conflict of another event, CHESS scientists will be able to provide uninterrupted mentorship to the students. To recruit the students for the HEXT-2023 workshop, institutions in the PREM, PREP, and PREC programs will be contacted, and the PIs/Directors of the programs will be encouraged to nominate two students each to attend the workshop. Announcements will be made on the CHESS web sites and email lists as well as the Cornell events web site. In case of sufficient interest from the community, the meeting presentations will be simulcast over the internet using standard transmission modes for participants (either presenters or viewers) who cannot travel to the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca. In person participation will be a priority, but it has proven useful to have remote participation possible in case of travel or personal difficulties that make travel to Ithaca impossible. Remote viewers and participants will have to register for the workshop as do all other participants, thereby facilitating record keeping and reporting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
