DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mahmoud Abdellatief (SESAME synchrotron)\nX-ray diff
 raction (XRD) beamlines are often high-priority facilities due to their br
 oad applications across diverse fields\, including materials science\, bio
 logy\, pharmacology\, and cultural heritage. The X-ray powder diffraction 
 (XRPD) technique\, in particular\, is widely used for material phase ident
 ification\, quantitative phase analysis\, microstructural analysis\, and k
 inetic studies. The MS/XPD beamline at SESAME Synchrotron\; which started 
 its operational phase in December 2020\; is dedicated to XRPD and was the 
 third beamline to open at SESAME. \nIt is equipped with a two-circle diffr
 actometer and a PILATUS 300K area detector\, generously donated by DECTRIS
 . The beamline covers an energy range of 8-25 keV\, achieving an estimated
  flux of 10¹³ photons/s at 10 keV. This talk will provide an overview of
  the MS/XPD beamline’s technical specifications\, along with selected re
 search examples highlighting some applications in materials science and en
 vironmental studies (e.g.\, water harvesting\, energy storage and CO2 stor
 age).\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/249/contributions/9883/
