Workshop on Diffraction at Elevated Temperature

Pilkington Technology Centre 4 June 1997

A one-day workshop is planned covering diffraction studi es at elevated temperature in the industrial laboratory. It is aimed at existing Industrial users and those interested in the potential of the technique. Given sufficient user demand a Special Interest Group will be formed with annual meetings on this topic.

The day will start with an overview of the technique followed by a review of commercially available equipment. Users of custom hardware will describe their systems. A round table discussion will allow participants to air their views and discuss problems. The following discussion topics will be covered: -

Maximising intensity - Rotating anode - focusing mirrors
X-ray detection - PSD's - Area detectors
Temperature validation -
Specimen preparation -
Automation - software - graphics
Applications

If you are prepared to give a short presentation about your system please contact :-
