User Training and Outreach

项目概要/摘要 这个核心执行两个功能的操作一个成熟的同步加速器用户设施的关键。一是我们 培训部分确保用户能够独立、高效和安全地工作。用户 培训从基于Web的培训开始，然后用户到现场工作。NCXT网站包括 文件、指导手册和视频。所有现场用户还必须完成强制性的机构 (ALS/LBNL）安全培训课程，其中许多课程可以在线完成。当用户到达网站时， 接受经验丰富的员工提供的NCXT专用“实践”培训。NCXT培训计划是 分成特定于任务的模块，用户根据其实验计划的范围接收模块。 第二，我们的外联部分旨在使科学界了解这些能力， 技术和研究机会在NCXT提供。我们通过员工积极参与来做到这一点， 讲习班和会议。我们还定期向更广泛的受众宣传NCXT技术， 在专业和普通期刊上发表技术和设施更新。我们的外展工作亦旨在 不断吸引新用户。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 其研究可能贝内于软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.
