Photon Science Seminar

The goal of the Photon Science seminar series is to foster scientific exchange between the research groups at SLS, the SwissFel, the LXN, the LNQ and external research groups. Talks cover topics related to research with X-rays, including results of novel experiments and new instruments. As the seminar series is intended to spark discussions and exchange between PSI and non-PSI research groups, presentations about current scientific questions where using X-rays might be an option are also welcome.

The Photon Science Seminars take place 1st and 3rd Tuesday of month at 11:00 WBGB/019, coffee at 11:00, talk at 11:15.
