Report on Remote Experiments from the JSSRR Ad-Hoc Committee

Abstract

Introduction The Japanese Society for Synchrotron Radiation Research (JSSRR) is an academic society for promoting development in synchrotron radiation (SR) science and technology in Japan, composed of 1200 members from universities, research institutes, industrial companies, and SR facilities. Due to the recent COVID pandemic situation, deployment of automation and remote tools in SR experiments has accelerated, while the rapid transition to the new style has evoked some concerns among users and SR facilities. To build a broad consensus in the Japanese SR community, the JSSRR organized an “Ad-hoc Committee on Remote Experiments” in 2021. This report is a brief summary of discussion at the Committee.
