User Training and Outreach

项目摘要/摘要 该核心执行两个对成熟的同步加速器用户设施的操作至关重要的功能。首先，我们的 培训部分确保用户能够独立、高效和安全地工作。用户 在用户到现场工作之前，培训首先是基于网络的培训。NCXT网站包括 文件、教学手册和视频。所有现场用户还必须完成强制性机构设置 (ALS/LBNL)安全培训课程，其中许多课程可以在线完成。一旦他们到达现场，用户 从有经验的员工那里接受NCXT-SPECIfic，‘动手’培训。NCXT培训计划是 拆分成任务特定的fic模块，用户根据其实验计划的范围接收模块。 其次，我们的外联组件旨在让Sciencefic社区意识到这些功能， NCXT提供的技术和研究机会。我们通过员工积极参与 研讨会和会议。我们还通过定期向更广泛的受众宣传NCXT技术 在专业期刊和普通期刊上发布技术和设施更新。我们的外展工作也旨在 一直在吸引新用户。我们通过举办研讨会和与调查人员直接接触来做到这一点 他们的研究可能会使fit受益于软x射线断层成像。

Project Summary/Abstract This core performs two functions critical to the operation of a mature synchrotron User Facility. First, our Training component ensures Users are capable of working independently, productively, and safely. User training begins with web-based training before Users come on site to work. The NCXT website includes documents and instructional manuals and videos. All on-site Users must also complete mandatory institutional (ALS/LBNL) safety training courses, many of which can be completed online. Once they arrive on site, Users receive NCXT-specific, 'hands-on' training from an experienced staff member. The NCXT training program is split into task-specific modules, with Users receiving modules according to their experimental plan's scope. Second, our Outreach component is designed to make the scientific community aware of the capabilities, technologies, and research opportunities available at the NCXT. We do this by staff actively participating in workshops and meetings. We also make the NCXT technologies known to a broader audience by regularly publishing technical and facility updates in specialist and general journals. Our outreach work is also aimed at always attracting new Users. We do this by hosting workshops and making direct contact with investigators whose research may benefit from soft x-ray tomographic imaging.
