INTRODUCTION

　Following the successful conferences at Hamburg(1982), Stanford(1985), Tsukuba(1988), Chester(1991), and Stony Brook(1994), the 6th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation will be held on August 4 to August 8, 1997, at Himeji, Japan.

　The year of 1997 is the memorial year, the 50th year since the synchrotron radiation was firstly observed. SRI is the international conference that is related to the instruments and techniques in synchrotron radiation science. Over the last decade, remarkable advances have been made in the development of light sources, radiation optics and experimental techniques as well as the science. Recently, several third generation SR facilities went into commission or are under construction. At this conference, we hope to bring together reseachers from a number of diverse fields with a common interest in SR instrumentation.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

　The program will include plenary lectures, and oral and poster presentation sessions including facility reports. The subjects and topics to be discussed are as follows.

　Light sources and beamline techniques

　　　　Accerelators

　　　　Insertion devices

　　　　SR beam position monitor

　　　　Optics

　　　　Microbeam

　Experimental techniques

　　　　Spectroscopy

　　　　Diffraction and scattering

　　　　Imaging

　　　　Detectors

　　　　Use of coherent SR beam

　　　　Use of high energy SR beam

　　　　Use of short bunch(es)

　Industrial and medical applications

　Next generation SR and Sciences

VENUE and HIMEJI CITY
