The workshop will be held at CEA l'Orme des Merisiers.

The majority of the applications of synchrotron radiation (SR) lies in the X-ray and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum, but it has been recognized since the 1980s that SR could also provide a useful source of infrared (IR) radiation for high-resolution spectroscopy of gas-phase samples, particularly in the difficult far-IR (terahertz) spectral domain.

Essentially, the synchrotron replaces the usual thermal source in a Fourier transform IR spectrometer, boosting the signal to noise ratio at very high-resolution and reducing consequently the acquisition time. Following up on pioneering work in Sweden (MAX-lab) and France (LURE), a number of new facilities have been constructed 10 years ago for high-resolution gas-phase IR spectroscopy. Based on the expertise developed around the SOLEIL AILES beamline, we invite you to the satellite workshop HiRIS3, satellite of the Users' Meeting 2017, which will give you an overview on performances, potential and prospects of the High-Resolution IR Spectroscopy using synchrotron sources.
