Workshop #4 at the NSLS Users' MeetingPharmaceutical Applications of Synchrotron RadiationLocation: Bldg. 490, Medical Seminar Rm Date: May 17, 2004 Organizers: Description: X-ray diffractometry (XRD) finds widespread application in characterization of pharmaceutical materials. Conventional XRD technique has limitations in sensitivity and time resolution. These can be overcome with the use of synchrotron radiation which is significantly more intense than a conventional X-ray tube source hence providing a superior signal/noise ratio. The use of synchrotron radiation has lead to developments in traditional areas such as phase quantification, strain measurements, and also opened up possibilities for dynamic and time resolved investigations of phase changes, solid state reactions, the solution and refinement of crystal structures from powder data, and analysis of the local structure of disordered and partially ordered solids. In addition, the workshop highlights hot topics in dynamics and structure of amorphous materials as viewed by pharmaceutical science, and features a round table discussion to bring collaboration between synchrotron experts and pharmaceutical scientists to a new level.

The National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, is a national user research
facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Science. The NSLS operates two electron
storage rings: an X-Ray ring and a Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV) ring which provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic
spectrum from the infrared through x-rays. Each year over 2300 scientists from universities, industries and government
labs perform research at the NSLS.
