EXAFS is Back

A workshop on the three X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines that will all be up and running by April 2010.

22/06/20092009-06-22T15:41:06 - 23/06/20092009-06-23T15:41:06
Time

Location
Diamond Light Source, Oxfordshire, UK

We are pleased to announce a workshop on the three X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy beamlines that will all be up and running by April 2010.

The workshop will concentrate on some of the new or revived experimental techniques that will be available at Diamond. The programme includes presentations from expert practitioners of Dispersive EXAFS, Secondary spectroscopy and XAS combined with other techniques. It also includes invited speakers talking about the current state of X-ray absorption in selected fields.

The other key feature is the opportunity for you to tell us in brief what you want to do on our beamlines. We will have two sessions with up to five minutes allocated for each speaker, where you can present your ideas for XAS experiments at Diamond. The Diamond spectroscopy group will then lead discussions on ways ahead.

The meeting is aimed at those scientists intending to lead beamline proposals on the three beamlines but is not limited to this alone.

The meeting has no registration fee and dinner on the 22nd June and lunch on the 23rd June will be provided at no charge. Attendees will have to pay for their own travel and accommodation. Some accommodation will be available in Ridgeway House on site.
