Planning Grant: Science and Technology Research Center for Soft X-Ray Science

这份来自俄勒冈州大学的提案要求资金 加强科学技术研究的规划 软X射线科学中心 这种多机构和 多学科中心将包括具有专业知识的参与者 物理、化学、材料和生物科学。 的 中心的科学重点将放在微观 异构系统的特性。 中心建议 使用明亮的新同步辐射源， X射线范围，以开辟新的研究领域或扩大现有的 允许不同类型的现象， 异构系统进行研究。 暂定包括的领域 光谱学和显微镜，软X射线荧光， 时间分辨光谱学 这些资金将使 机构完成一批合格的同化 人员，确定最重要的科学问题，计划 中心的行政和科学结构，以及 确定哪种仪器最能满足 中心 拟议中的中心，这将是在一个大的， 扩大跨学科的研究领域，也将服务于 来自大学、工业和国际的用户 laboratories. 该中心的目标是使一个主要的 在软X射线科学领域的贡献。

This proposal from the University of Oregon requests funds to enhance the planning of a Science and Technology Research Center in Soft X-Ray Science. This multiinstitutional and multidisciplinary center will include participants with expertise in physical, chemical, material, and biological sciences. The Center's scientific focus will be on the microscopic characterization of heterogeneous systems. The Center proposes to use bright new sources of synchrotron radiation in the soft x-ray range to open new fields of research or to expand existing ones to allow qualitatively different types of phenomena in heterogeneous systems to be studied. Fields tentatively included are: spectroscopy and microscopy, soft x-ray fluorescence, and time-resolved spectroscopy. These funds will enable the institution to complete assimilation of a group of qualified personnel, identify the most important scientific issues, plan the administrative and scientific structure of the Center, and determine which instrumentation will best serve the needs of the Center. The proposed center, which will be at the frontier of a large and expanding interdisciplinary field of research, will also serve users from universities, industry, and international laboratories. The goal of the Center is to make a major contribution in the area of soft x-ray science.
