The ARC Centre of Excellence in Coherent X-ray Science (CXS) is an Australian government initiative that began in July 2005 to explore what can be achieved with X-ray optics; including an understanding of exotic phenomena such as X-ray phase discontinuities. http://www.coecxs.org/joomla/index.php/education/synchrotron-seminar-series.feed 2014-08-27T00:59:42Z Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management 2011-03-01T12:00:00Z 2011-03-01T12:00:00Z http://www.coecxs.org/joomla/index.php/education/synchrotron-seminar-series/514-synchrotronseminarseries.html Administrator nicoleka@unimelb.edu.au

<h2>Synchrotron Seminar Series 2006 and 2007</h2> <p>In September 2006 CXS hosted the University of Melbourne Science with Synchrotrons Seminar series. The series comprised seven lectures and showcased the Synchrotron facilities so potential users could understand the functionality of the facility and how it could assist in their future research work.</p> <p>The Australian Synchrotron commenced operations in 2007 with nine beamlines. The Synchrotron will be extended over the coming years to a full capacity of over thirty beamlines.</p> <p>Details of the seminars are listed below:</p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center" border="0" width="80%"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="heading-medium-left" valign="top" width="20%">2006</td> <td valign="top" width="20%"></td> <td width="40%"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">1 September</td> <td valign="top">Mark Tobin</td> <td>Infrared Microspectroscopy at the Australian Synchrotron</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">6 October</td> <td valign="top">Dr David Paterson</td> <td>Microspectroscopy: A Versatile X-ray Microprobe<br /> A tale of applications from mineral exploration via forensics to sub-cellular imaging for bio-medical research</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">3 November</td> <td valign="top">Dr Chris Glover</td> <td>X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS): One of the first five beamlines to be operational at the Australian Synchrotron</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">8 December</td> <td valign="top">Dr Nigel Kirby</td> <td>SAXS and the Synchrotron</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"></td> <td valign="top"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="heading-medium-left" valign="top">2007</td> <td valign="top"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">2 March</td> <td valign="top">Dr Kia Wallwork</td> <td>High Resolution Powder Diffraction at the Australian Synchrotron</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">4 May</td> <td valign="top">Dr Bruce Cowie</td> <td>The Soft X-ray Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">1 June</td> <td valign="top">Dr Julian Adams</td> <td>Protein Crystallography at the Australian Synchrotron</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>The seminars were well attended and enjoyed by all.
