>From Dr Giovanna CICOGNANI  (ILL Scientific Coordination Manager )

Dear Colleague,

We'd like to draw your attention to the workshop on Powder Diffraction
with 2-Dimensional Detectors (PD2DD) to be held in Grenoble
at the ILL/ESRF site on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 February 2008.

Please see http://www.ill.fr/dif/PD2DD/ for more details and registration,
and use the email [EMAIL PROTECTED] for all queries.

This workshop aims to discuss the scientific applications of powder
diffraction using detectors with 2-dimensional sensitivity, in particular
large area and large solid-angle detectors.  While mainly concerned
with neutron powder diffraction, the workshop will include some presentations
dealing with x-ray diffraction.

The scientific domains center on condensed matter structural
studies: nano-materials, disordered crystals, Pair-Distribution
Function (PDF) analysis, materials chemistry, structural kinetics,
texture and strain, magnetism, materials under extreme conditions,
Earth materials, superconductivity.

Instruments discussed include 3 neutron diffractometers at
the ILL: D19, (Super-)D2B, and a proposed high-flux diffractometer,
as well as neutron diffractometers at ISIS (U.K.), FRM-II (Munich),
ANSTO (Australia), SNS (USA), and a few synchrotron x-ray
diffractometers (ESRF, Grenoble).

Although the emphasis of the workshop is on the scientific results
and future possibilities using 2-dimensional detectors
in powder diffraction, some presentations will also discuss the
technical aspects of such detectors.

The poster session is aimed towards thesis students and postdocs,
and the workshop will terminate with an open discussion.

The preliminary programme includes the following invited speakers:

Paul Attfield (Univ. Edinburgh, Scotland)
Bruno Guerard (ILL, Grenoble)
Veijo Honkimaki (ESRF, Grenoble)
Reinhard Kampmann (GKSS, Germany)
Holger Kohlmann (Univ. Saarland, Germany)
Werner Kuhs (Univ. Goettingen, Germany)
John Parise (Univ. New York, Stony Brook)
Paolo Radaelli (ISIS, U.K.)
Andrew Studer (ANSTO, Australia)
Chris Tulk (SNS, Oak Ridge)
Michele Zucali (Univ. Milano, Italy)

The workshop is limited to a maximum of about 50 participants, of which
approximately 30 can be given lodging in the on-site Guesthouse.
We expect to be able to cover all Guesthouse expenses, and depending
on financial support, there will be some reimbursement of travel expenses
for invited speakers, and for students and postdocs.  If participation
demand is too great, a selection of participants might be made.
