Autonomous experimentation (AE) holds enormous promise for accelerating scientific discovery. This paradigm leverages machine-learning methods to construct experimental loops where the machine selects and conducts experiments, liberating the human scientist to focus on high-level goals and understanding. This talk will discuss autonomous experiments (AE) at synchrotron x-ray scattering...
In our (dramatically understaffed) X-ray scattering laboratory, developing a systematic, holistic methodology1 let us provide scattering and diffraction information for more than 2100 samples for 200+ projects led by 120+ collaborators over the last five years. Combined with universal, automated data correction pipelines, as well as our analysis and simulation software, this led to more than...
SAXSutilities is a software package which has been developed since more than 15 years for on-line processing and analysis of Small-Angle X-ray Scattering data at beamline ID02, ESRF. The original version was based on Matlab . However, since 2019, the program was entirely rewritten using Python3 [Sztucki] and is fully integrated in the data reduction pipeline of the beamline. It is also...
For users to make informed decisions about adapting their experimental setup or inspect the decisions of an autonomous experiment, it is essential to extract and visualize relevant features from scattering patterns as they are collected. Making use of browser-based technologies further enables remote, device-independent and installation-free access, as well as providing standards-based...
