Overview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes:
The high-resolution x-ray imaging group fosters a forum for information exchange between all users who are striving for x-ray imaging at a high-spatial, high-temporal, or high-contrast resolution. We will also consolidate users' ideas and propose recommendations to the facility by taking account of international trends in x-ray imaging. Our fields of activity include cutting-edge imaging studies, such as high spatial resolution imaging using dedicated optical devices, phase contrast techniques for high-contrast resolution imaging, x-ray fluorescence imaging for element distribution analysis, and time-resolved imaging and four-dimensional CT for dynamics studies. The scope of our acitivity is as follows:
- Discuss research topics best suited for SPring-8 and SACLA:
We will discuss promising research topics best suited for the facility. We will also promote the application of x-ray phase-contrast microscopy developed by Prof. Momose. - Propose upgrades or restructuring of x-ray imaging beamlines:
Our group will consolidate user-side requests on the basis of members' experiences of x-ray imaging experiments, and propose possible plans for experimental station upgrade, beamline restructuring, data processing facility, and staff assignment. - Activity to recruit potential users of x-ray imaging:
We will disseminate information regarding x-ray imaging studies by introducing our best practices at conferences and meetings. We also pursue improvements of the facility guest house in order to lower the barriers for new users.
