X-ray Tomography at Synchrotron Facilities

Pipeline for data acquisition and reduction workshop

During the last few years several advances in control, detector and data analysis have been transforming the operation of tomography instrumentation at synchrotron facilities and more changes are planned as several facilities are undergoing extensive upgrades.

In this virtual workshop, organized thanks to the collaboration between the European Beamline Jockeys (BJ) and USA synchrotron communities, we would like to gather and share the experience of beamline and computational scientists directly involved with operation asking them to present the current pipeline for data acquisition and reconstruction encouraging a demo presentation.

The scheduled presentations (see the Contribution List) will focus on the operation of the beamlines for full field tomography experiments with a brief introduction of the beamline operation (up to 30 min) in most of the cases coupled with a live or recorded demo session (up to 40 min) elaborating on the details of the functions and processes carried out during an experimental session (such as sample mounting, set-up alignment, parameters selection for tomographic scans, data migration, reconstruction, conversion, storage, and/or any other steps selected by the presenters).

When possible, we would encourage a shared demo including the involvement of the software/controls developers who can provide comprehensive details and explanations.
