New Light Source Project
aiming for unique studies of microscopic motions in matter of all kinds

Open Meeting on the NLS Source

March 2nd, 2009 Merrison Lecture Theatre, Daresbury Laboratory

NOTE - The aim of this informal workshop was to present to a wider audience the current status of the design of the NLS source, in order to invite comments and stimulate participation. What was presented therefore was very much Work In Progress at that time, and not to be taken as definitive in any way. Please contact the relevant presenters or meeting organiser for permission to use or refer to any of this material or for further information.
