Second International Workshop on Imaging Techniques with Synchrotron Radiation (ITSR)

摘要

The Second International Workshop on Imaging Techniques with Synchrotron Radiation (ITSR) was held November 6-10, 2009, at the beautiful beach resort city of Sanya on the tropical island of Hainan province in the south of China, and followed on from a similar successful meeting in Hefei in December 2008. The meeting was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) in Hefei, Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, INFN, Xradia Inc., and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs based on an agreement for bilateral collaboration. This enthusiasm for collaboration is a reflection of the increasing interest in synchrotron-based research, particularly in the area of imaging and microscopy, which has been stimulated by the successful commissioning of various projects in China, such as the new Shanghai synchrotron light source and the upgrade of the Hefei synchrotron sources. Some further new projects are proposed that will focus even more on advancing the imaging capability in China and its application in different domains of science and technology. The Sanya meeting was therefore held at an important time and designed to bring world experts together to help build the user community, foster new scientific applications, and nurture young scientists. It is encouraging to witness that more than 10 students participated in the meeting, which included 25 oral presentations contributed by 40 delegates from 8 countries including China, Australia, the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08940886.2010.485517
