Program
We invite you to participate in a workshop for beginners in the field of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) data collection and analysis. The workshop will be held at MAX-lab, September 1 - 10, 2008, and will consist of talks and hands-on exercises. The aim of the first three days is to give a comprehensive introduction for tentative XAFS users at beamline I811, and to introduce the basic concepts of XAFS experiment design, theory and data analysis. The following five days are mainly dedicated to XAFS theory and data analysis using the software EXAFSPAK.
