SPring-8, the large synchrotron radiation facility

CCLRC (Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils) is a research council that runs Daresbury Laboratory in UK. CCLRC and JASRI agreed on a collaboration program three years ago and this will be the third symposium based on the agreement.

Brief profiles of the delegates:
Hywel G Price: Director of the Daresbury Laboratory
Mike Chesters: Director of the SRS (synchrotron radiation facility at the Daresbury Laboratory). Specialized in Physical Chemistry, especially infrared spectroscopy
Gareth Derbyshire: Head of the detector development division in CCLRC. He gave a review lecture on x-ray detectors at SRI2003.
Tracy Turner: Head of Physics Division in SRS. Specialized in soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy.
Samar Hasnain: Specialized in Protein crystallography. A leader of North West Structural Genomics Centre
Greg Diakun: Head of Materials and Engineering Division in SRS. He used to work with small-angle scattering on proteins in the NCD (Non-Crystalline-Diffraction) group.
