Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce that a workshop on Resonant Scattering
will be held on November, 7-9, 2014 at Argonne National Laboratory.
This workshop is organized as part of the COMPRES Education,
Outreach and Infrastructure Development programs to promote the
application of the state-of-the-art Nuclear Resonant Scattering (NRS)
techniques for characterizing the properties of materials under the
high P-T conditions of planetary interiors.
During this workshop, we plan to offer an introduction to the two
NRS techniques - Synchrotron Mӧssbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) and Nuclear
Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (NRIXS) - and the CONUSS, PHOENIX
and SciPhon software used for data evaluation. Much of the workshop
will involve hands-on training with the software. Recent
instrumentation developments at the Sector 3 beamline at the Advanced
Photon Source, and added features to the new version of CONUSS and
PHOENIX will also be discussed. Common experimental issues that users
are confronted with will be addressed.
Registration for the workshop is free. Limited travel support is
available for students or early career scientists from domestic COMPRES
member institutions upon request. Please note that the
deadline for registration is Oct. 17th, 2014.
If you have any question, please contact Dr. Wenli Bi at 630-252-0167
or wbi@aps.anl.gov. Registration
details and additional information may be found on the workshop
website.
