Introduction

The Synchrotron Radiation Research Theory Network (SRRTNet, pronounced 'sertnet') provides theoretical support for synchrotron radiation and related experiments, through a global, web-based network linking theoretical and experimental research groups.

This site acts as the web centre for SRRTNet. It provides general information concerning the network, announcements of workshops and conferences, and provides an overview of the research activities of individual research groups within the network, together with links to their web sites where more detailed information can be found.

The aims and plans of the network are:

• To provide a central repository for information of relevance to synchrotron radiation research
• To develop theoretical methods pertaining to the experiments performed on synchrotron facilities
• To provide state of the art and user friendly software for the analysis and interpretation of experiments
• To provide training in the use of relevant software through workshops and site visits
• To host visiting scientists
• To hold periodic workshops for the dissemination of new results and methodologies

The network gratefully acknowledges financial support from the European Union who fund the European section of the Network under contract number HPRI-CT-2000-40014.

Suggestions for other activities from the synchrotron community are welcome and can be mailed to srrtnet@dl.ac.uk.

These web pages are hosted by the Computational Materials Group at the Daresbury Laboratory, UK.
