Abstract:
SPring-8 provides low-emittance, high-energy synchrotron x-rays for worldwide users. Utilizing the characteristics, a variety of synchrotron methods are developed for physics, materials science and industrial applications. These methods are used for understanding various phenomena, which take place in a multiscale range, from nanoscale in quantum physics to palm-scale in product engineering, through mesoscale in materials science. The upgraded SPring-8 under planning will reduce the emittance by orders of magnitude, leading to large advances in x-ray beam size control and coherent utilization. This advances will shift the multiscale synchrotron methods to next stage.
This seminar gives an introduction to current and future capabilities of SPring-8, before highlighting high-energy X-ray techniques and their applications.
