The vast majority of EPR spectrometers present in Physics, Chemistry or Biology laboratories operate with microwave frequencies around 9-10 GHz (X band). If in principle the use of higher frequencies makes it possible to gain in resolution and sensitivity, the implementation of experiments in the higher frequency ranges Q band (35 GHz) or W band (95 GHz) requires to take into account specific technical difficulties in order to make the best use of the possibilities offered by these devices.
The objective of this HF-EPR micro-school is to give participants an overview of the experimental possibilities provided by Q and W band equipment, their specific constraints (sample size, cavity coupling, relaxation constraints, effects fast passage, etc.), and good practices to implement.

Registration for this day is free but compulsory.
The deadline for registration is fixed at November 14, 2022.
ATTENTION: the number of places is limited to 15!

Organizing Committee
Bruno Guigliarelli, Valérie Belle, Sylvain Bertaina, Pierre Dorlet, Emilien Etienne, Guillaume Gerbaud, Stéphane Grimaldi.

Prerequisites:
Know how to record alone an EPR spectrum in X band.

Program:
3 workshops of 2 hours (30 a.m.->9 a.m. / 11 p.m.->30 p.m. / 12 p.m.->30 p.m.): Q band in continuous mode / W band in continuous and pulsed mode / Multifrequency digital simulations and HYSCORE, between 15 a.m. and 15 p.m.

Useful information:
The CNRS campus is accessible from the city center by metro and bus. We suggest that you choose accommodation located near the following metro stations: Vieux Port, Estrangin, Castellane, Périer, Rond Point du Prado.
