The 5th International Conference
on the
Physics of X-Ray Multilayer Structures
Abstract SubmissionContributed oral and poster presentations on any subject related to the conference are welcome. Email your one-page, publication-ready abstract to pxrms-abstracts@cletus.phys.columbia.edu. When we receive your abstract, you'll be sent automatically a confirmation by email. If you don't receive a confirmation, then we didn't receive your abstract.
Please indicate if you prefer an oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts will be reviewed in October, and acceptance notification will be provided by email prior to the conference pre-registration deadline.
We will attempt to accept whatever file format you submit (e.g., MS Word, TeX, plain ASCII, etc.). Of course if we cannot read or print your abstract we'll let you know about it.
Abstract Format
There are no formal requirements for formatting, but please understand that we will use your abstract as-is (as we do not have the resources to edit each abstract we receive): a printed copy of your abstract will be included in the meeting digest, and a PDF version of your abstract will be generated, which will be published on the conference web site.
The abstract deadline (1-Oct-1999) has now passed.
Late abstracts will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
