From the 10th to the 16th of June I am joining a beamtime of Johan Gustafson and his phd student Hanna Sjö. The experiment is a continuation of the project in which polycrystalline metal surfaces are studied with high energy X-rays under catalytic reaction conditions for, e.g. hydrogen oxidation. Using surface X-ray diffraction on these surfaces and a special measurement technique a surface map of the polycrystal and observed surface oxides can be reconstructed from the data. Johan and Hanna are developing this technique and you can read details about it in Hanna's licentiate doctoral thesis ("half time thesis") here. 
We are having best weather in Grenoble this week with up to 34 C but I spend most of the time indoors of course. However, it is a welcome change to the recent windy and rainy weather in Gothenburg.
