Idaho Accelerator Home Medical and Biological Imaging with Novel X-ray Beams
August 7 and 8, 2003
Sponsored by Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Lab INEEL
(now the Idaho National Laboratory (INL))
Hosted by Idaho State University ISU


Purpose:
A select group of scientists, along with faculty and staff from the Department of Physics, Department of Biological Sciences, the Idaho Accelerator Center , and the INEEL will discuss new applications of existing and exotic X-ray sources to research in the biological, industrial and surface sciences. Descriptions of ongoing work by the participants and laboratories at ISU will be shared.
