Soft-Matter and Biomolecular Materials Summary September 5-6, 2003, Stony Brook University Workshop Discussion Leaders and Organizers -- Front Row: Dave Litster, Simon Mochrie, Nitash Balsara, Chi-Chang Kao, Lin Yang; Second Row: Janos Kirz, Sol Gruner, Stephen Cheng, Ben Chu, Timothy Lodge; Third Row: Ben Ocko, Noel Clark, Richard Register; Back Row: Mathias Lösche, Ron Pindak, Christian Burger, Paul Heiney; Missing from photo: Robert Austin, Ben Hsaio, Ian Robinson, Helmut Strey Organizers: Ben Ocko and Ron Pindak, Speakers: Simon Mochrie, Ben Hsiao & Dan Fischer • What are the key scientific drivers? • Polymers, energy, molecular electronics, bones, nanocomposites, liquid crystals, colloids, thin organic films, biomineralization, complex fluids. • What experiments will NSLS-II enable that are not presently possible? • USAXS (from the speckle pattern) & MicroSAXS better XPCS, • 2) What technical capabilities will these require? (Beamlines, endstations, undulators…) • Small spot sizes, 50-3000 ev spectroscopy beamlines, • 3) Estimate of community size. 500 users, would like to grow (requires user friendly operation) 4) What detector requirements does this field have? Do these require R+D?YES • Area detectors, faster, wider range of simultaneous q. • 5)What software and computing infrastructure requirements are there? • Standardized analysis for SAXS and XPCS • 6) Any particular accelerator requirements? NO • 7)Any particular conventional facility requirements? Adequate chemistry • labs near the beamlines and hutch ventilation.
