BCA Spring Meeting 2005

Loughborough University

Tuesday 12 April to Thursday 14 April 2005

Scientific Program

Parallel Session: Modern Techniques for Crystal Structure Refinement

Wednesday 13 April, 10:30-12:00, 13:30 - 15:00, & 15:30-16:30
(Room CC.00.12/BE.0.25)

Chairs: Charlie Bond (Dundee), Simon Parsons (Edinburgh), David Watkin (Oxford)

This parallel session consists of two sessions of lectures followed by a CRYSTALS workshop. The workshop will involve brief presentations on several problems relating to refinement, after which participants will be able to use CRYSTALS to try various approaches to solving them. Most of the tools available in CRYSTALS are also available in other programs � the advantage of using CRYSTALS for a workshop is that the tools can be used interactively, with the results displayed graphically.
