Support Workshop

ELETTRA provides a Support Workshop  for beamlines and users support. It mainly serves as workshop to integrate ELETTRA's beamlines capabilities, by upgrading the experimental chambers or properly fitting new tools and equipment.
The Support Workshop can also provide assistance for very urgent users' requests or needs during the beamtime (e.g. repairing broken tools to save the beamtime).

ACCESS TO THE SUPPORT WORKSHOP IS ALLOWED TO AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY.

Equipment Operation Policy

User privileges

External users are not allowed to directly contact the Support Workshop personnel or to enter the area. For any request, they must contact first the beamline personnel.
In general, the Support Workshop is not intended to provide/prepare equipment or tools for the users' beamtimes. Users must bring their own equipment for the beamtime. The Support Workshop can help in fitting the user's equipment to the beamline experimental chambers. 
Under special circumstances, e.g. very urgent needs or long-term collaborations, personnel external to the Support Workshop facility may be trained and be authorised for access upon consideration of needs, scheduling requirements, safety and facility operation issues.

Support Workshop Safety/Operation

The Support Workshop  facility is a high use facility with limited space. Therefore, proper training and attention to safety are critical. Users allowed to enter the Support Workshop area must follow the Support Workshop Health and Safety Rules and consider the effects of their operations/conduct not only on their activity, but also on other facility users. If an individual's operation is deemed to be unsafe or unacceptable, e.g. damaging to other work or equipment, user privileges may be revoked.
