Date:

Tuesday 13th May 2014

A one day workshop to explore the scientific and technical challenges for spectroscopic studies around the Cl, S and P K edges. The meeting brings together experts in the field and covers catalysis, ionic liquids and electrochemistry. Wider discussions will extend to cover areas such as actinides, environmental studies and geo-science. The latest developments at XMaS, DLS and the ESRF will be highlighted and there will be opportunities for to discuss and plan new activities. Please see the workshop leaflet.
