Programme & Proceedings | Scope

Scientific Scope of the Conference

The Conference is aimed at anyone with an interest in the application, science and technology of Small-Angle Scattering (SAS),  this includes:

  • academic researchers
  • industrial researchers
  • large-scale facility SAS operators
  • SAS equipment manufacturers
  • experimental support equipment manufacturers

The Conference will cover all forms of SAS, whether performed with light, X-rays or neutron beams, including surface-related techniques such as grazing incidence, and dynamical forms such as correlation spectroscopy. Contributions involving new and emerging forms of SAS will be particularly welcome.

Session themes include:

  • Biological systems
  • Ceramics, glasses & porous materials 
  • Colloids and solutions
  • Data processing
  • Dynamical techniques (including PCS, MISANS & SESANS)
  • Environmental science
  • Fibres & hierarchical structures
  • Imaging
  • Instrumentation (including detectors & sample environment)
  • Kinetic & time-resolved measurements
  • Magnetic systems
  • Membranes
  • Metallic systems
  • Polymers
  • Surfaces & interfaces (including GISAS)
  • Theory & modelling
