Synchrotron Serial Crystallography (SSX) BAG

The aim of this BAG is the development of new methods, hardware and software for different applications in SSX. The new EBS machine is in the privileged position of exploiting flux density previously unmatched at synchrotron beamlines. This is likely to open a new paradigm in serial synchrotron crystallography, by enhancing the signal to noise of the diffraction data and reducing the minimum exposure time. The increase in photon flux density at the sample position will interest most of the MX beamlines and it is going to be particularly effective for microfocus beamline such as ID23-2 and ID30A3. We plan to further develop different SSX data collection methods in the attempt to profit of the characteristic of the new beam and to extend the implementation of automated procedures to simplify the access to SSX methods for the MX community.
