The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC)
The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) is a European project for making FAIR data a reality in 6 European Research Infrastructures (RIs), developing and providing services for scientific data and connecting these to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Objectives
- Participate in the construction of the EOSC by linking with the e-infrastructures and other ESFRI clusters.
- Make scientific data produced at Europe’s major Photon and Neutron sources fully compatible with the FAIR principles.
- Generalise the adoption of open data policies, standard metadata and data stewardship from 15 photon and neutron RIs and physics institutes across Europe
- Provide innovative data services to the users of these facilities locally and the scientific community at large via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
- Increase the impact of RIs by ensuring data from user experiments can be used beyond the initial scope.
- Share the outcomes with the national RIs who are observers in the proposal and the community at large to promote the adoption of FAIR data principles, data stewardship and the EOSC.

Use Case 14 - Temporal shape of XFEL pulses and radiation damage of a biomolecule in single particle imaging
Single particle imaging is an emerging tool to determine the structure of biological molecules, without the need of crystallization. Among other things, the method is limited by radiation damage. For each sample that interacts with the X-rays from an XFEL, the dynamics will be different, since the pulses will not have the same temporal shape. […]

Use case 13 - Effects on the spot quality of the mirror error profile and source pointing instability
While assessing the performance of X-Ray optics, the focusing sharpness of the mirror is evaluated under different conditions. An important parameter is the beam pointing stability. When combined with the local curvature changes due to the mirror surface defects, pointing instability can induce shifts of the focal plane, or equivalently a broadening of the spot […]

Use case 12 - K-B System performance analysis
FERMI is the first and only seeded EUV-SXR free-electron laser (FEL) facility available to users. Three of its five end-stationg use a Kirkpatrick–Baez (KB) active X-ray optics system to focus the FEL pulses into the experimental chambers. Design, prototyping, metrology, performance analysis and commissioning have been carried on totally in-house. WISER has been used to […]

Service R&D for Archiving and Preservation for Research Environments @RDA 17 Plenary meeting
The importance of long-term data preservation is underlined in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Nevertheless, it is not clearly specified how this aspect will be implemented or provided, considering that long-term preservation is not yet part of the EOSC service portfolio. ARCHIVER is the only EOSC-related H2020 […]
