Scope

XTOP will bring together experts in the fields of X-ray diffractometry, X-ray diffraction imaging / topography, and X-ray phase contrast imaging (radiography and micro-tomography). XTOP is one of the central scientific platforms concerning methods and instrumentation in synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray diffraction methods, phase contrast imaging, and microtomography.

Immediately preceding the conference, on 18-19 September, a tutorial session comprising extended presentations by renowned international specialists for X-ray diffraction and X-ray imaging techniques will be dedicated to summarizing the present status of the entire field. The focus here is on giving comprehensive introductions to different topics.

Venue

The conference will be hosted by Steigenberger Hotel Badischer Hof, Baden-Baden. The extended programme will include a visit to the synchrotron ANKA at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.
