> Dear Colleagues,
>
> We are very pleased to announce that the 13th International Conference 
> on
> Small-Angle Scattering (SAS2006 Kyoto) will be held at Kyoto 
> International
> Conference Hall on July 9 -13, 2006.
>
> The International Conference on Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) has been 
> held
> every three (or four) years since 1965. In this conference, 
> researchers in
> various scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, 
> materials
> science, and engineering get together to discuss and explore the unique
> capabilities, needs, and opportunities of SAS for structure 
> determination
> of various systems from atomic or molecular to mesoscopic scales. 
> Systems
> to be studied by SAS of X-rays and Neutrons extend over a quite wide 
> range;
> metals, ceramics, biomolecules, and soft matters such as polymers, 
> liquid
> crystals, colloids, membranes, and surfactants. Therefore, this 
> conference
> is highly interdisciplinary by nature.
>
> The conference will be organized so that speakers and participants in
> various fields can discuss their SAS studies as a common keyword beyond
> their specialities.
>
> In addition, as this is the first opportunity of SAS conference to be 
> held
> in Asia, we wish to take advantage of this opportunity to promote SAS
> activities in Asian and Oceanian region as well as in Japan.
>
> We sincerely welcome your participation in SAS2006 Kyoto.

> Those of you who are interested in  further information are kindly

> from

> interdisciplinary by nature.
> In this conference, we are going to attempt to bring speakers and
> participants in various fields to meet in the same conference rooms to
> present and discuss their SAS studies, as a common but most important
> keyword among others, beyond their special fields.
> We are also going to highlight some topical sessions on researches; for
> example, researches concerning 1) dynamics and kinetics, 2) hierarchy
> structures studied with a wide range of momentum transfer, 3) novel
> techniques concerning with optics, detectors, microbeam, and contrast
> variation, 4) experiments under extreme ambient conditions, and 5)
> open-nonequilibrium systems under various external fields.
