[Neutron] J-PARC workshop on bio-diffractometer

subject: J-PARC Meeting Information

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Dear neutron colleagues,

We would like to inform you an International Meeting for Construction and
Utilization of IBARAKI Biological Crystal Diffractometer (BIX-P1 type) at
J-PARC.

A single crystal neutron diffractometer for structural biology is under
construction in J-PARC, which promotes industrial applications.

It will cover majority of biologically important samples from organic
materials to macromolecules up to 135 angstrom in unit cell. It will have
very high flux to be able to measure one hundred macromolecular crystals of
2mm cubic in volume per year.

In this meeting two main topics will be focused on;

1) data reduction software which includes de-convolution of overlapped peaks
due to a broad character of coupled moderator,
2)  trend and perspective of the neutron crystallography of macromolecules
and organic compounds in the world, which would stimulate potential users to
have
much interest of neutrons.

We also welcome your contributions to the meeting, such as talks and posters
on related topics.  In details, please visit our homepage below or ask
organizers.

Sincerely yours,    Ibaraki Univ. Ichiro Tanaka
