High-Resolution Inelastic X-ray Scattering on Earth Materials using Synchrotron Radiation
APS WorkshopView Description
This two-day workshop is organized within the COMPRES infrastructure development initiative, which is aimed at creating state-of-the-art high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) techniques for characterizing the properties of materials under the high-P-T conditions of planetary interiors.

Understanding Condensed Matter Dynamics at the Microscopic Level
APS WorkshopView Description
Understanding material behavior under extreme conditions is central to modern materials research, as highlighted in a recent DOE workshop on "Basic Research Needs for Materials under Extreme Environments" (June, 2007, Washington D.C., http://www.sc.doe.gov/bes/reports/list.html.) Over the past decade or two, a large number of new materials and novel phenomena have been discovered and predicted at extreme conditions, paralleling advancements in high-pressure technologies, the nation's large-scale experimental user facilities, condensed matter theories, and high-performance computers. Yet, because of the single event and destructive nature of the experiments, gaining microscopic insights into dynamic materials response has been a significant scientific challenge, despite unprecedented scientific opportunities for mechanistic understanding of material phenomena in short time and length scales.

Small-Angle Scattering Short Course
APS CourseView Description
The objective of the Small-Angle Scattering Short Course 2008 is to raise the capabilities of the small-angle scattering (SAS) community by providing an intermediate-level course for those in need of a better understanding of SAS theory, and techniques utilized at the APS.
The SAS short course offers an overview of SAS theory, capabilities, and data reduction and analysis tools to enable the community to submit highly effective beam-time proposals and to facilitate better utilization of the resources at the APS.
