This workshop is the sequel
to the successful Workshop on New Approaches to the Phase Problem for
Non-Periodic Objects held May 17-19, 2001 at Berkeley National Laboratory.
The aim of this workshop is to build on the
previous meeting and further explore developments in methods for solving
the phase problem for noncrystallographic objects. The emphasis will be
on the application of techniques developed in other fields to X-ray and
electron imaging. Discussions at the last workshop included iterative
methods, transport of intensity methods, through-focus techniques, fragment
completion, oversampling, maximum entropy methods and set theory, Fourier
transform holography, phase-extension methods and use of low-resolution
images, solvent flattening (density modification) and related methods.
Here, those areas will be covered and expanded upon under the thematic
areas listed above.

The program will consist of invited talks leading into discussion sessions.
There will be a contributed poster session to be held in the evening of the
first day. We will also hold a session on "Hot Topics and Problems".
This will consist of short ( < 5 min) contributed presentations.
POSTER ABSTRACTS
Authors are invited to submit abstracts in English for consideration for poster
presentation at the workshop. All posters must be presented in English. Each
abstract should include the title, followed by the list of authors, their
affiliations, and the e-mail address of the contact author. Abstracts should
be sent by e-mail as an attachment in Microsoft Word or Rich Text ('rtf')
Format to phaseconf@physics.unimelb.edu.au.
HOT TOPICS AND PROBLEMS
This session will be open to anyone wishing to speak. Speakers are limited
to one view-graph and 5 min.
We are inviting a mix of experienced and new researchers to give an exciting
overview of the Workshop themes. See attached Program
