Workshop: April 6-7, 2009
Applications of Synchrotron Techniques in Glass Research

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY Sponsored by: |

Overview of Workshop
The Workshop will introduce the glass community to the synchrotron techniques that are currently available and prepare it for the future opportunities enabled by NSLS II. 
The Workshop will also nucleate the formation of a glass synchrotron research consortium that will promote the funding, construction, and operation of synchrotron end station instrumentation optimized for glass research.
Synchrotron-based techniques provide important tools for both basic and applied materials research. The Department of Energy has approved construction of the next generation synchrotron facility: the National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II), which will produce x-rays up to 10,000 times brighter than those produced at the NSLS today.
REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED. Will re-open April 6, 2009.
Important Information: if you are planning to stay on-site at BNL (including speakers and organizers) you must also register in BNL's Guest Information System (GIS)
US citizens must register before March 27, 2009 latest.
Non- US citizens must register before
March 20, 2009 latest.
Approval to stay in on-site accommodation at Brookhaven, can take 30 days or more*, and approval must be granted prior to attending the workshop. Therefore we can NOT guarantee approval will be made if register after March 1, 2009.
Participants can still register to attend the workshop, but will have to make reservations for off-site accommodations.

| The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is a national user research facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Science. The NSLS operates two electron storage rings: an X-Ray ring and a Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) ring which provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic spectrum from the infrared through x-rays. Each year over 2300 scientists from universities, industries and government labs perform research at the NSLS. | ||
