Raman Emission by X-ray Scattering

The Raman Emission by X-rays (REX-I) workshop focused on Raman scattering of X-rays mostly from synchrotron radiation sources. The advent of high brightness sources of X-ray radiation has given impetus to a technique that has offered ways of obtaining insights into the atomic and electronic structure of solids and gases. Raman scattering by x-rays has been applied to yield information about the band structure of solids and about the electronic structure of atoms. It was the object of this workshop to identify and define key issues in this rapidly developing subfield of x-ray physics by gathering together a group of theorists and experimentalists, and by providing overlap between atomic and condensed matter physics. The workshop aimed to achieve the latest developments and to initiate cross fertilization in the different areas.
