The text of this ExPaNDS Guidance Note is extracted from ExPaNDS deliverable [D2.3: Final data policy framework for Photon and Neutron RIs](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5205824). The Guidance Note covers the 21 elements that comprise the final version of the ExPaNDS data policy framework. These elements fall under nine broad themes:
1. General drivers and principles
2. Roles and responsibilities
3. Scope
4. Enabling FAIR data
5. Necessary restrictions to data sharing
6. Availability of infrastructure and responsibility for costs
7. Data management planning requirements
8. Recognition and reward for data usage
9. Reporting requirements, compliance monitoring, and any possible sanctions
The Guidance Note is intended as a short-form, ready-access tool for policy makers working on data policy within Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures. For additional context around the development of the ExPaNDS data policy framework, see the D2.3 deliverable and its earlier, draft version [D2.1: Draft extended data policy framework for photon and neutron RIs](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4014811).

IR spectromicroscopy and imaging with six decades of dynamic range
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLL-V28CZ8A
https://pan-training.eu/materials/ir-spectromicroscopy-and-imaging-with-six-decades-of-dynamic-range
Speaker: Dr Ferenc Borondics, SMIS Beamline Manager, SOLEIL, France
Infrared spectroscopy has been in scientists’ toolbox for more than a century to obtain information about vibrational properties and low energy electrodynamics of materials. The beginning of the 80s brought the first commercial infrared microscopes to look into fine details. Far-field infrared spectromicroscopy had been pushed to its limits in the 90s at synchrotron facilities by exploiting the unrivaled quality of synchrotron radiation, i.e., low angular divergence and extremely high bandwidth. Synchrotron infrared spectromicroscopy beamlines provide diffraction-limited spatial resolution covering the whole IR range and enable experiments impossible otherwise. Later, the implementation of two-dimensional IR detectors allowed hyperspectral imaging of large samples with high spatial resolution. The turn of the century brought the advent of near-field IR techniques breaking through the diffraction limit. Combining high-brightness IR sources with atomic force microscopes to detect photothermal expansion or near-field scattering allows measurements hundreds of times below the diffraction limit reaching as high as ten-nanometer spatial resolution. Optically sampled photothermal spectromicroscopy has recently become available to bridge the resolution gap between the nanometer and micrometer range. We combine these techniques at the SMIS beamline to enable six orders of magnitude spatial dynamic range in infrared spectromicroscopy and support scientific discovery by exploiting the synchrotron source through commercial and custom instrumentation. In this talk, I will highlight discoveries made by SMIS staff and users enabled by the beamline’s capability and comment on the benefits of emerging, alternative sources.
