New Directions in X-ray Scattering

Dec 6th 2006 - Astrophysics conference room 102/103 - Stanford University

Goal of the workshop is to come up with new designs for SSRL scattering beamlines that make use of the SPEAR3 capabilities and best address the scientific needs of the community.

10:00am Scientific Opportunities and Beamlines: A brief introduction to one of the promising directions for scattering beamlines (excl. microdiffraction) and some of the added capabilities. (A preliminary plan to get started and a plan which we will modify and refine for rest of the workshop.)
10:30am Scientific Highlight Session I Topics: Reaction Studies, High Throughput diffraction, Full Pattern/texture/strain, phase transition (Fendorf/Webb, Pelton/Mehta, Chabinyc, Salleo)
11:30pm Scientific Highligh Session II Topics: Thin films, surfaces and interfaces, Single crystal diffraction, polarization dependence (e.g., orbital ordering), high energy diffraction (Fisher, Greven/Hancock, Toney, Bargar/Conradson)
12:30pm Lunch - Discussion of the scientific highlights
1:30pm A plan to optimize SSRL scattering beamlines: Discuss and define the overall direction for the materials science scattering program at SSRL.
2:30pm Discuss details of the scientific direction and the required capabilities.
