INTRODUCTION

The X-Rays techniques have contributed a lot to research and services especially in quality control and characterization study. The advancement of knowledge in material science, solid-state physics, catalysis, medical and other fields have also benefited much from these techniques. With the recent inclusion of powerful software, plotting facilities to provide quick results and with high precision analysis, these techniques have gained much interest and have greatly widened its application in many new fields. Thus, it is timely to have this conference to take stock of the current development and deliberate on the recent innovation, and to introduce new ideas on development and future trends in applications of these techniques.

This conference is organized to provide an opportunity to all individuals and organizations who are involved and interested in the advancement of X-rays and related techniques to share their view and experience, in addition to being a forum for exchanging information, discussion of scientific problems and findings as well as fostering of friendship and partnership.
