Training school on synchrotron analysis of ancient materials
Saint-Aubin
Dec 14-18, 2004

The Synchrotron SOLEIL will organize the first COST G8 training
school on the synchrotron analysis of ancient materials from the
14th to the 18th of December 2004 in Saint-Aubin (Paris region,
France).

The school will aim at providing scientists working on the analysis
of ancient artifacts with an in-depth presentation of the new
possibilities offered by synchrotron radiation techniques. The
program will include:

    *   lectures on the current challenges regarding the study of
        ancient metals, ancient pigments and organic materials and

    *   courses focussed on synchrotron techniques

    *   case studies, visits and tutorials to combine these two
        approaches.
