In the second week of October, the first Autumn School of the Opens external link in new windowEuropean X-ray Spectrometry Association (EXSA) coorganized by EXSA, PTB and TU Berlin took place in combination with a workshop and a meeting of the Fundamental Parameter Initiative. About 75 participants 25 students among them discussed on Quantitative Methods in X-ray Spectrometry. Two days of lectures introduced the students to the subject while the workshop comprised talks about related current research and two lively discussions on fundamental parameters and micro-XRF imaging. A poster session provided an additional platform for the attendees to present scientific research.

 

Malte L. Wansleben, PhD student of PTB’s X-ray spectrometry group was awarded with a poster prize on his work A compact and calibratable von-Hamos X-Ray Spectrometer based on full-cylindrical HAPG mosaic crystals.

 

As the feedback to this first EXSA event of that kind has been very positive, a continuation is being considered.
