Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce that a workshop on Resonant Scattering will be 
held on November, 7-9, 2014 at Argonne National Laboratory.

This workshop is organized as part of the COMPRES Education, Outreach and 
Infrastructure Development programs to promote the application of the 
state-of-the-art Nuclear Resonant Scattering (NRS) techniques for 
characterizing the properties of materials under the high P-T conditions 
of planetary interiors.

During this workshop, we plan to offer an introduction to the two NRS 
techniques - Synchrotron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (SMS) and Nuclear Resonant 
Inelastic X-ray Scattering (NRIXS) - and the CONUSS, PHOENIX and SciPhon 
software used for data evaluation. Much of the workshop will involve 
hands-on training with the software. Recent instrumentation developments 
at the Sector 3 beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, and added features 
to the new version of CONUSS and PHOENIX will also be discussed. Common 
experimental issues that users are confronted with will be addressed.

Registration for the workshop is free. Limited travel support is available 
for students or early career scientists from domestic COMPRES member 
institutions upon request. Please note that the deadline for registration 
is Oct. 17th, 2014. If you have any question, please contact Dr. Wenli Bi 
at 630-252-0167 or wbi AT aps.anl.gov . Registration details and additional 
information may be found on the workshop website:
