University of Liverpool

3rd June 2015

This friendly one day event will give you the opportunity to see how XMaS operates as a mid-range facility, the new technical developments that are planned and to discuss how the beamline can help users and their science. If you haven't used XMaS yet or if you are just curious in knowing what kind of science can be done on the beamline, just come along! The on-site team will be there to tell you all about the beamline.
