5 experiments over 4 days at the ESRF and the ILL in Grenoble

06.03.2024
In total, we carried out 5 experiments, on 5 different beamlines, over 4 days, at 2 different large-scale research facilities (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) / Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL)). This enormous achievement of our team was of course not possible without the support of the scientists at the beamlines. We would therefore like to thank Paul Tafforeau & Elodie Boller (ESRF /BM18), Julie Villanova (ESRF/ID16), Jakub Drnec (ID31), Lukas Helfen (ILL/NEXT) and Olivier Mathon (ESRF/BM23). Further thanks go to Athanasios Papazoglou & Edward Mitchell (ESRF) and Duncan Atkins (ILL) from the respective Business Development Offices.

The team travelled to Grenoble in France fully packed. Some complex infrastructures were required for the 5 experiments. Our transporter was therefore filled accordingly.

With the already known infrastructure for analysing mineralogical samples using high-throughput Synchrotron Diffraction, we have measured a total of almost 4000 samples.

A new infrastructure was used, which allows syringes to be inserted into a sample with high precision via remote control and then actuated.
