INVITED ORAL

PDFgui is a user-friendly graphical interface built on the PDFfit2 small-box modeling engine for the refinement of neutron and X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) data, enabling the extraction of nanoscale structural information from complex materials. By streamlining the setup, execution, and visualization of PDF refinements, PDFgui provides an accessible environment for organizing fits,...

ORAL

No, this tutorial is not about what you think! Playing on the famous 1969 book title [1], this session is an almost math-free, highly intuitive guide to Synchrotron Experiments with X-rays (S.E.X), inspired by the legendary 1995 paper by Prof. Giorgio Margaritondo on Synchrotron Emission of X-rays [2]. Think of a synchrotron light source as the ultimate scientific multi-tool for S.E.X....
