| Abstract | Diffracted intensity from the surface of a silver crystal partially covered with islands of silver atoms of monoatomic height. The central sharp peak arises from the substrate and the broad, volcano shape comes from the islands. The Users' Organisation invited nominees for the «1996 Young Scientist Award», according to the following selection criteria: «The award recognises outstanding work done in the past year at the ESRF by a scientist 40 years of age or younger.» The winner of the award, chosen amongst eight nominees, was invited to deliver a public lecture at «Science at the ESRF» (Users' Meeting), in November 1996 and received a cash award of 5 000 FF. The announcement of the winner of the award was made during the plenary session at «Science at the ESRF» and caused last-minute readjustments of the programme, as the winner turned out to be... the plenary lecture speaker Paul Loubeyre (from Université Paris VI) «for the extension of single crystal X-ray diffraction above the Mbar, enabling the determination of the equation of state of hydrogen, of most fundamental interest and of great astrophysical relevance». Unique in its kind worldwide, the new experimental apparatus developed by P. Loubeyre has so far revealed the structural properties of various systems, among which Paul Loubeyre during his plenary lecture. The most eagerly awaited decision was that concerning the budget for 1997. After the last Council of June 1996, when a planning figure for Members' contributions of 400 MFF had been adopted, with an additional option of 408,5 MFF (cf. ESRF Newsletter N° 26), two delegations had notified the Management that they would not be in a position to support their share to a budget at this level. As a result from a Heads of Delegation meeting held on 2 October 1996, Management had had to prepare two scenarios, one providing for Members' contribution of 390 MFF and one for 380 MFF. In the end, all delegations but the German one voted in favour of the higher level of contributions. The shortfall in contributions compared with the planning figure of June will be compensated by 10 MFF from a recent out-of-court settlement with construction contractors concerning the initial deficiencies of the experimental hall floor. This means that, together with other income of 6.8 MFF, an expenditure budget of 406.8 MFF can be funded. Considering the medium-term development of the facility the Council • endorsed the elements … |
