Scientific paper

The ability of high resolution X-ray spectroscopy to directly probe the grain composition of the ISM is discussed. Using experimental data taken at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, current and near-future mission prospects for (1) distinguishing gas from dust phase absorption, and (2) determining the chemical composition of interstellar grains, through the details of X-ray absorption fine structure is assessed. Details, in-depth discussions and complete references can be found in Lee & Ravel 2005.
