First MicroSAXS/WAXS beamline Workshop for PETRA III

9 May 2006, 08:00 → 10 May 2006, 16:00 Europe/Berlin

Buildg. 25f, R. 456 (DESY, Notkestr. 85, 22603 Hamburg, Germany)

This first workshop aims to combine external users’ demands and PETRA III team’s intentions to design and build the microfocus small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering beamline at the high brilliance synchrotron source PETRA III / HASYLAB. We intend to stimulate an active detailed discussion around micro- and nano-focusing scattering methods and topics based to give the pathway for the instrumentation and detailed beamline layout of the µSAXS/WAXS beamline. We therefore would like to invite interested scientists working in the area of and applying micro- and nano-focusing scattering methods to participate in this workshop.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the meeting.

You are kindly requested to register in advance, especially if you plan to present a poster at the postersession in the afternoon.
