Workshop 3"Soft X-Rays: Polarization Sensitive Measurements Using Resonant Soft X-Rays"Date: Monday, May 21. 2007 Organizer(s): Sujoy Roy (Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory) Location: Bldg. 510, Physics, Large Seminar Room Description: The scope of this workshop will focus on different techniques
using x-ray resonant interactions to uncover properties of
materials. This workshop will explore the state of the art of the
experiments using soft x-rays analyzing the results considering the
polarization of the incoming radiation. Attendees may be familiar
with the possibilities of Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD), but
this is just a small aspect of the potential that the study and the
analysis of the polarization will bring in the future, not only in
the soft x-rays but also in other energy ranges.

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.
