The X-Ray Beamline Optics Modeling School 2023 is a hands-on, three-day workshop exploring the process of beamline design, specification, and modeling with modern, available tools, taught by experts in the field.

Download & test several days before the start of the course.
Following introductions to central concepts in X-Ray optics, the lectures will build toward full source and beamline simulations using both ray-tracing and wave optics approaches.
Students will learn to use available tools through hands-on, in-class exercises and homework assignments. Participants are requested to bring a laptop to class and install the relevant tools in advance. Attention will be given to the modeling apps and to the opportunity for scripting simulations in Python.
The target audience is scientists, engineers, and technicians who wish to learn more about simulations in x-ray optics applied to synchrotron instrumentation using OASYS and related tools. In particular, they will understand the characteristics of a synchrotron beam and obtain quantitative information on emitted flux and power, simulate the optical performance of a beamline, and apply a variety of tools to simulate partially coherent beams.
BASIC Tier: (Open for community registration)
Aimed at beamline scientists, engineers, and research staff
Introduce important concepts in sources, x-ray optics, beamline elements, and modeling.
The course uses free, modern tools.
Course will be held over two mornings: May 30 and 31, 2023.
Students in the BASIC Tier will attend virtually.
ADVANCED Tier: (At capacity)
For researchers learning how to design beamlines. A deep dive into realistic modeling, optics specifications, and scripting.
Overlaps the BASIC tier
Will be held as 3 days from May 30 to June 1, 2023.
In-person participation is strongly encouraged.
The complete course materials, examples, and exercises will be available to all students in both tiers. This material can be found here.
