Steve Miller (SNS) takes a break from writing widget code while Tao jots down a few notes.


Philip, Richard, and Pete (l-r) take time out for a group photograph.



Pete lists the required steps in reducing backscattering data.



Richard raises a point regarding backscattering data reduction as Felix and Philip look on.
