XRMS 2008 Workshop at DESY

From January 23–24, 2008, the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) provided a forum for more than 75 scientists from 12 countries to discuss recent developments in the investigation of magnetic solids with synchrotron radiation. The framework for this meeting was the International Workshop for X-ray Spectroscopy of Magnetic Solids (XRMS 2008). The XRMS workshop series was established in 2000 when the first meeting was held at BESSY (Berlin, Germany). It then continued annually or bi-annually, always in conjunction with a users meeting at one of the European synchrotron radiation facilities. In this year, the XRMS workshop preceded the HASYLAB Users Meeting at DESY on January 25.
