Scope of the Meetings

The scope of the Nano-focusing optics meeting is to:

• Identify capabilities and requirements for hard X-ray nano-focusing optics at European synchrotron sources and related institutes.
• Discuss possibilities of coordination and formal collaboration in the design, fabrication, and supply of nano-focusing devices on a European level.
• Promote a common approach towards industrial suppliers.

The scope of the Round Table Discussion on Diamond Crystals is to:

• Inform about the present status and the future plans of the field of the growth of high quality single crystal diamond,
• Identify the present and future needs of the 3rd and 4th generation X-ray sources in high quality diamond samples,
• Coordinate the needs of the potential customers of single crystal diamonds,
• Discuss how the necessary R&D programme for production of diamond samples can be encouraged and stimulated.

This meeting will begin with short and informal presentations from the participating institutes, followed by brainstorming sessions with ample time for discussion.
