Is the X-ray diffraction theory we use correct?

Join Dr Paul Fewster, former Head of Research at PANalytical and 
Co-editor for IUCr Journals to find out more. This event will take place 
on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM BST, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM CEST, 
11:00 AM – 12:00 midday EDT, 8:00 AM – 9.00 AM PDT

The theory of X-ray diffraction from crystals has been established for 
over 100 years; although it is still used, it cannot account for some of 
the experimental data. The theory combined with measured data can 
sometimes lead to the wrong structural model. In this webinar you will 
hear about a new theory that includes the diffraction from crystals in 
all directions, which explains the diffraction from polycrystalline 
materials and the data collected in serial crystallography without the 
need for complex structural requirements.

The webinar will be followed by a Q+A session, where you can quiz Paul 
directly.

You can read more about Paul’s work in two papers published in /Acta 
Crystallographica Section A: Foundations and Advances/
