X-ray & neutron spectroscopy, scattering, and imaging in atmospheric chemistry

13 Nov 2024, 13:00 → 15 Nov 2024, 12:00 Europe/Zurich

Paul Scherrer Institut

Claudia Mohr (PSI), Markus Ammann (PSI - Paul Scherrer Institut), Thorsten Bartels-Rausch (PSI - Paul Scherrer Institut)

The workshop will explore achievements at and future options for large-scale facilities like the Swiss Light Source (SLS), the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ), and the Free Electron Laser (SwissFel) to address questions related to Earth’s atmosphere. Using techniques such as spectroscopy, scattering, and imaging, structures and processes at the molecular and atomic levels are investigated to understand their connection to macroscopic physical properties and chemical reactivity.

This workshop brings together scientists who are developing novel techniques at large-scale facilities with scientists who are active in atmospheric research. The workshop is open to invited speakers, LAC members, and collaborators.
