Proceedings of the 31. RAU: annual users meeting LNLS/CNPEM. Abstract book

he online meeting aims to gather researchers who use LNLS scientific instrumentation to perform cutting edge experiments in areas such as Materials Science, Health and Pharmacology, Environmental Science Energy, Biotechnology, X-ray Imaging, Oil and Gas, Chemistry, and others. The event will promote the exchange of experiences between users and debates on future facilities, which shall be in operation in the coming years. Five new beamlines are entering the scientific commissioning stage, completing the number of six beamlines available for the user community: MANACÁ, for macromolecule crystallography; CATERETÊ, for X-ray coherent diffracting imaging; CARNAÚBA, for X-ray spectro-nanoscopy and nano-diffraction; EMA, for samples under extreme conditions; IMBUIA, for nano and micro Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy; IPÊ, for Soft X-ray Inelastic scattering and Photoemission. In addition to the beamlines, two support laboratories, LCTE, for samples under Extreme Thermodynamic Conditions and LCIS, for in situ growth of thin films and heterostructures, and the scientific computing center TEPUI, for data storage and analysis, were officially inaugurated the last month.(author)
