GISAXS WORKSHOP AT BNL on May 17, 2004

A one-day workshop on Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering 
(GISAXS)
is being held on Monday, May 17, 2004 as part of the Annual Users 
Meeting of
the National Synchrotron Light Source(NSLS) at Brookhaven National 
Laboraotry (BNL).

GISAXS, the surface analogue of SAXS, is emerging as an important probe 
of soft
matter systems such as polymer thin films as well as semiconductor and 
other
growth-induced nanostructures.  GISAXS provides an excellent complement 
to more
conventional nanoscale probes such as atomic force microscopy and 
transmission
electron microscopy.  The aim of the workshop is to survey recent 
scientific
developments and to discuss future prospects.

Speakers include Phong Du, Oleg Gang, Alain Gibaud, Hartmut Metzger,
Matthew Misner, Christine Papadakis, Gilles Renaud, Ian Robinson, Tom 
Russell,
Sunil Sinha, and Jin Wang
