XAFS Training Courses at NSLS-II#

This page collects information and education materials from a series of XAFS training course hosted at the National Synchrotron Light Source II

These workshops are run by the staff of the hard X-ray spectroscopy beamlines:

  • QAS: Quick x-ray Absorption and Scattering, 7-BM

  • BMM: Beamline for Materials Measurement, 6-BM

  • ISS: Inner-Shell Spectroscopy. 8-ID

We are grateful for financial support from the National Synchrotron Light Source II and the NSLS-II Users’ Executive Committee.

All of this happens only because of logistical support from the wonderful folks in the NSLS-II User Services Office.
