The DIALS software package (Diffraction Integration for Advanced Light Sources) is used throughout the world for processing crystallographic data in automated pipelines or through graphical user interfaces.

In conjunction with the Bay Area Light Sources Joint Users’ Meeting (September 20-25, 2026), this full-day workshop will teach users and beamline scientists how to use DIALS to process crystallographic images, with the first half for general DIALS processing at synchrotrons and the second for serial crystallography, including XFELs. Both new users who want to try to analyze their own data and beamline scientists who want to add DIALS to their automatic pipelines are encouraged to attend. Hand-on tutorials with example data will be presented, including one-on-one time with DIALS developers for detailed instruction.

Graeme Winter will be teaching at this workshop.
