2:30 pm - 4:00 pm Discussion of the technical needs, capabilities, and possibilities for the damping wiggler beamline
4:00 pm - end Determine BAT membership, discuss modes and frequency of communication between BAT and community


Science talks

These talks will outline the needs of the various scientific communities using XAS and comment on how the exceptional flux and broad energy range of the damping wiggler source will positively impact their fields.

Technical needs

The session on technical needs, capabilities, and possibilities will be an open discussion of the various issues surrounding the damping wiggler beamline and will be the time to express your ideas about special equipment needs for specific communities modes of measurement (micro, bulk, slew scanning, fast scanning) observations from other 3rd generation sources in providing XAS to a diverse user community detectors, what's available, what's desired and anything else that is on your mind

Questions for the day
  1. What novel experiments could you perform with this high flux source?
  2. What instrumentation and infrastructure would you like to see at this beamline?
  3. What other XAS capabilities and beamlines would you like to see at NSLS-II?


Thursday, January 17 - Bldg 817 NSLS-II Project Office, Room 36

BAT Meeting
9:00 am - 1:00 pm The newly seated members of the BAT meet to outline and begin drafting the LOI and to agree on a work-flow plan to finish the document by the due date. Time permitting, begin work on LOI for MIE money.
