CLS and the Brockhouse beamlines offered our first in person x-ray diffraction (XRD) school, August 16-18, 2022. 33 attendees from across Canada were treated to lectures covering fundamental and advanced XRD concepts, hands on demos of software packages for XRD data analysis, and measurements at the Brockhouse and CMCF beamlines.

Video recordings of the presentations are available on the Canadian Light Source YouTube page.

Below are slides from some of the lectures presented at this school.
