*User meeting “Rietveld analysis with BGMN”*

Kindly supported by the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, RMS Foundation Bettlach, and the German- Swiss-Austrian Clay Group DTTG

This workshop is addressed at persons using the BGMN Rietveld program in research and education. Basic knowledge in X-ray powder diffraction is assumed. The content focuses on the use of laboratory powder diffractometers and the application of BGMN in phase analysis. Examples in the tutorials are mainly from minerals and rocks.

Computer exercises will be performed on the participants’ own laptop computers. The BGMN and Profex software are under GNU GPL and will be distributed for free. Versions for Windows and Mac OS X systems will be available. Copies of the presentations will be distributed as PDF files. Participation is limited to 20 persons and will be decided by the organizers on a first-come-first-served basis. Individual confirmation will be sent after the pre-registration deadline.
