SSRL will conduct the 6th Annual X-Ray Scattering Workshop from May 29-31, 2012. The goal of the four-day school is to provide:

  • training in theory
  • experimental design
  • data acquisition strategies
  • and data analysis


Transition Metal K-edge XANES analysis for electronic structure determination and EXAFS analysis for geometric structure determination applicable to relevant systems in the field of Biology, Environmental Science, Catalysis and Material Science will be covered. Experts in the field will deliver the invited lectures. The practical training session will focus on teaching detailed experimental procedures at SSRL beamlines 11-2, 7-3, 4-1 and 2-3 and data analysis techniques (basic and advanced) to the participants.


Co-chairs for the Summer School on Synchrotron X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy are SSRL Staff Scientists John Bargar, Ritimukta Sarangi, Apurva Mehta and Samuel Webb. The Summer School will be held at SSRL with additional facilities used at the SLAC National Acceleratory Laboratory site. Funding for the SMB Summer School program is provided by NIH-NCRR and DOE-BER.


Students and researchers wishing to participate in the Summer School on Synchrotron X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy 2011 must first apply to attend. Once accepted, the participant will be informed to follow the requirements for the registration process. Space is limited and interested participants are requested to submit


We look forward to your participation and a fruitful Summer School.



This school is funded by the DoE, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, and Office of Biological and Environmental Research.
