What is small-angle scattering?

Small-angle scattering is the premier technique for the size characterization of nanoscale objects.

Our Mission

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.

Small-Angle Scattering Short Course 2008

"Beyond R_G"

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.
