Small-angle scattering is the premier technique for the
size characterization of nanoscale objects.
The Small-Angle Scattering special interest group
at Argonne National Laboratory has been created to promote awareness of the small-angle scattering facilities at the APS, IPNS, and elsewhere on the Argonne campus and to foster communications between the various research groups. Through this group, we believe we can build a strong user community for small-angle scattering at the APS, IPNS, and throughout Argonne.
Future plans :
APS Small-angle scattering special interest group is currently deciding if to organize next Small-angle scattering short course ("Beyond Rg"). Options considered are to have this event in summer 2009, summer 2010, or do not organize it at all. If you would be interested in participation, please send me e-mail (ilavsky@aps.anl.gov) with input on timing and structure you would prefer. I can also put your e-mail on a list to which we will distribute any future announcements.

"Beyond RG"
June 28-July 2, 2008
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory
The objective of the Small-Angle Scattering Short Course 2008 was to raise the capabilities of the small-angle scattering (SAS) community by providing an intermediate-level course for those in need of a better understanding of SAS theory, and techniques utilized at the APS.
The SAS short course offered an overview of SAS theory, capabilities, and data reduction and analysis tools to enable the community to submit highly effective beam-time proposals and to facilitate better utilization of the resources at the APS.
