Topics to be discussed:

 

  • Science policy priorities associated to the beamline
  • Spanish beamtime allocation policy: public vs private.
  • Critical discussion about beamline operation and technical aspects
  • Demanding requests by users concerning upgrading of existing experimental stations and optical components in order to increase the technical capabilities.
  • Increasing sample environment capabilities
  • Improvement on detectors.
  • Incorporation of additional experimental techniques.
  • Incorporation of a third experimental station (empty hutch from BM25A).
