Samples in high pressure devices often appear in the form of a multiphase and multicrystal assemblage within a micro-focused x-ray beam. Such samples fall in between the ideal single-crystal and powder and are inappropriate for conventional crystallographic characterization. In addition, sample microstructures need to be characterized and this requires mapping the orientations and properties of hundreds of individual grains simultaneously. Recently, new multigrain crystallography and multi-crystal indexing techniques emerged. Both have now been successfully applied to characterize the crystal structures of complex multigrain, multi-phase samples at extreme conditions, as well as to track the hundreds of microstructural elements of materials undergoing processes such as phase transformation and plastic deformation. Despite significant advances, however, these experiments and the processing of such data remain a technical challenge. Nevertheless, these methods offer great avenues for discoveries in high pressure research. With new updated synchrotron sources, studies of materials under multi-megabar pressures will expand and these materials will require investigating multiple crystals simultaneously. In parallel, multigrain crystallography allows, for instance, for a new approach in the study of phase transformations, the induced microstructures, and the associated mechanisms. Finally, the high-pressure community has developed a great expertise at solving crystal structures under complex environments, and this could cross-feed into the multigrain crystallography community and other fields of science. This microsymposium aims at bringing together those addressing multicrystal indexings, characterization of new structures and microstructural studies using multigrain crystallography under pressure. We will highlight the latest technical and scientific discoveries and how the methods could be developed and opened towards a broader community. -- Sébastien Merkel Université de Lille, France http://merkel.texture.rocks/https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http*3A*2F*2Fmerkel.texture.rocks*2F&data=05*7C01*7C*7C0b334498141e48b6d03b08dadfe8c835*7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa*7C1*7C0*7C638068488144588312*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C3000*7C*7C*7C&sdata=xpvbnQww3bQmJWzoI3seE8dLFCpoDSpDCO5bMDKXHAs*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!-PIcjvtjvAG8mMIJL0FE17RKm2lleDfuQZdZNUKx9Om_jpap5CDMmivCv-v9ZIL4juXcvWyMz6oAHVkU3FgMkmj755ulAVQGFw$
