  • Font: Times or Times New Roman, 12 point
  • Title: bold, centered, all uppercase (except where lowercase letters are needed for clarity)
  • Leave one blank line between the title and the author(s)
  • Author(s) and affiliation(s): mixed upper and lowercase, centered; if there is more than one author, underline the presenting author’s name
  • Leave two blank lines before beginning the text

    • text should appear flush left; do not indent
    • use line spacing sufficiently large enough to allow the abstract to be read easily, including subscripts, superscripts and Greek letters

In addition to the abstract, please submit a separate page with the following information:

  • Permission to post abstract on the DXC website

  • If poster presentation, choose the XRD or XRF evening poster session or the Anniversary 
    Attention Poster Session Authors: The size of the poster boards at this year's Denver X-ray Conference will be four-foot-high by six-foot-wide as opposed to the traditional size of 4' x 8'.
