Abstract
In my lecture this morning I am going to summarize the results of a number of high resolution x-ray scattering measurements on smectic phases. These have been carried out at M.I.T. and at Risø National Laboratory. My collaborators have been Prof. R.J. Birgeneau at M.I.T. and Dr. Jens Als-Nielsen at Risø as well as graduate students and staff members at both institutions. The names of people involved in the various experiments will be found in references to work which is either published or in press in various scientific journals. In my lecture I will discuss the scientific questions addressed and the results we obtained in these experiments.
