Open to all registrants User facilities at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories offer tremendous capabilities for multidisciplinary scientific research using x-ray, neutron, microscopy, and nanoscale techniques. The specialized instrumentation and expertise available at these facilities enable scientists from academia, industry, and other organizations to conduct experiments with resources typically not available at their home institutions. Additionally, the co-location of many of these facilities offers opportunities for the use of multiple techniques or probes on a single sample or group of samples. The goal of this workshop is to describe and promote the competitive advantages of conducting scientific research at these DOE user facilities.
