The International X-ray Absorption Society (IXAS) represents all those working on the fine structure associated with inner shell excitation (near edge and extended) by various probes (e.g. x-rays and electrons), and related techniques for which the data is interpreted on the same physical basis.
The former name of the society, until july 2007, was IXS (International XAFS society). The name and acronym changed following an unanymous decision of the Executive Committee, and those new names will replace  the original ones in all the official documents and activities.

The purpose of the IXAS is to oversee activities which benefit the community as a whole, to establish operational committees, to provide for education in the field, to disseminate relevant information, to work with other related regional, national and professional organizations in promoting and developing XAS and related disciplines, and to act as representative for the community to other professional organizations.

Membership in the IXAS is open to anyone working in the field, including students, upon their formal application.

Please note that www.i-x-s.org is the official URL of the IXAS. Do not use other obsolete URLs. Old contents selected from the old IXS (IXAS) web site are still available here.

This website is currently managed by the XAS group in Camerino (Italy), under the responsibility of A. Di Cicco.
