MICRO WIDE ANGLE FIBER DIFFRACTION WORKSHOP

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 FiberNet/BioCAT光纤衍射研讨会于2009年10月15日至17日在伊利诺伊州阿贡的高级光子源举行。上一次在APS举办的Fibernet/BioCAT研讨会是在2004年。Fibernet是一个以范德比尔特大学为中心的光纤衍射学家组织。BioCAT和Fibernet合作为纤维衍射社区组织年度研讨会，这些研讨会可以是美国晶体学协会年会的特别会议，丹佛衍射会议，田纳西州各州立公园的会议，以及这里报道的联合会谈和实践研讨会。目前的讲习班有30名登记者。我们也有来自APS其他几个用户的参与者。研讨会的正式部分包括一天半的会谈，主题包括淀粉样蛋白结构，结缔组织，肌肉和生物质的微衍射研究。随后是为期两天半的实践研讨会，培训参与者在光束线18 ID上使用BioCAT微衍射仪或在BioCARS光束线14 BM上使用光纤衍射装置收集数据。我们计划今后每两三年举办一次此类讲习班。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The FiberNet/BioCAT Fiber Diffraction Workshop was held October 15-17, 2009 the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL. The last such Fibernet/BioCAT workshop at the APS was held in 2004. Fibernet is an organization for fiber diffractionists centered at Vanderbilt University. BioCAT and Fibernet work together to organize annual workshops for the fiber diffraction community that can either be special sessions at annual meetings of the American Crystallographic Association, the Denver Diffraction conference, meetings at various State Parks in Tennessee and combined talks and practical workshops such as the one reported here. The current workshop had 30 registrants. We also had drop-in participants from several other users at the APS. The formal part of the workshop consisted of a day and a half of talks with topics ranging form amyloid structures, connective tissue, muscle, and micro-diffraction studies of biomass. This was followed by two and half days of hands-on workshop where participants were trained to collect data on either the BioCAT microdiffraction instrument on beamline 18ID or using the fiber diffraction setup on BioCARS beamline 14 BM. We plan to hold such workshops every two-three years in the future.
