Description of Hands on Sessions

PURPOSE and SCHEDULE

As part of SES IV, interested participants have the opportunity to participate in hands-on data acquisition training sessions at beamlines at either the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) or the Advanced Light Source (ALS) . The hands on sessions will be held on December 11th, 2008, from 9-4 pm and will provide valuable experience for new or novice users who would like to better understand the practical and theoretical aspects of a particular technique. Participants will have the opportunity to learn directly from the beamline scientists who design, build, and operate the beamlines, and who are world leaders in synchrotron science.

The Hands on Session at both the ALS and SSRL Beamlines are FULL.

Two concurrent sessions will be scheduled: one at SSRL and one at the ALS. Participants will be responsible for providing their own transportation to either location. ALS is readily accessible from San Francisco and SFO by means of public transportation. Public transportation is also available to SSRL, but it is advisable to use rental or private car.

DIRECTIONS

To LBL/ALS: http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Transportation.html

To SLAC/SSRL: http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/maps/default.htm

To access the SLAC/SSRL by public transportation from San Francisco take Caltrain to the Palo Alto Station and then the Stanford Marguerite Shuttle to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Complex.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) provides connections from SFO to Caltrain, San Francisco, and Berkeley

Participants who will attend the SSRL hands-on session are encouraged to book lodging for the night of WED, DEC 10 at the Stanford Guest House, which is immediately adjacent to SSRL and has good rates. Many rooms were available at the time of writing, but they will book up quickly. We thus urge you to book your room **AS SOON AS POSSIBLE**. If the Guest House is not available, then we recommend that you reserve a room in Menlo Park or Palo Alto. A list of accommodations can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/rde/chs/general/hotel.html.
