APS Renewal: Instrumentation Open Forum (January 9, 2009)

The first (of many) Open Forums focusing on what instrumentation should be included in the APS Renewal will be held on January 9, 2009 in A1100.

Anyone is welcome to attend and join in the discussion.

This first Forum will attempt to combine/coordinate the LOIs and beamline upgrade proposals we have already received. See also: Charge to the Instrument Group Organizers
