BCA Spring Meeting 2002 University of Nottingham Monday 25 March to Thursday 28 March 2002

Following on from the highly successful workshop on sample preparation organised by Steve Norval at the BCA 2000 meeting at Heriot-Watt University, the Industrial Group of the BCA plans to hold a "Powder Diffraction Surgery", for which active audience participation is sought. So bring along all your old powder diffraction problems that have been tucked away for years in drawers and fire them at experts on the panel who will try to suggest some ideas for solving them! Subjects up for discussion will include theoretical concerns versus practical realities, software issues, do thermal ellipsoids mean anything?, best quantitative practice, and many more.
