SNBL/ESRF Workshop on Diffuse Scattering
SNBL and ESRF workshop on new work done in the domain of diffuse scattering in Crystalline Materials
Grenoble 25 – 26 June 2009
ESRF Auditorium
Organizers
SNBL at the ESRF – Vladimir Dmitriev, Dmitry Chernyshov
ESRF - Alexei Bossak

PROGRAMME
Administrative Coordinators
Chantal Heurtebise and Marion Glueckert
The goal of this 2-day workshop is to bring together people interested in diffuse scattering, in order to share their experience in experiment and theory and to present and discuss new problems in physics and chemistry in which disorder phenomena are important. For a synchrotron facility, such workshops help to define the direction in which we have to develop in order to fulfill the requirements of the user community. It will also be an opportunity for the users to see what is already feasible at ESRF and SNBL today and, with their help, what might be possible in the future.
