Oak Ridge and Argonne National laboratories have announced the 14th annual National School on Neutron and X-Ray Scattering. All the necessary information is below.
The 14th Annual National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering will be held at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Labs from August 12-25, 2012 . This school is designed to help introduce graduate students to the capabilities available at the neutron and x-ray user facilities in the United States. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, include basic tutorials on the principles of neutron and x-ray scattering theory, the characteristics of Neutron and Synchrotron X-ray sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. As part of the school, students also conduct a series of short experiments to provide some hands-on experience using instruments at neutron and synchrotron sources, at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (August 12 – 17), and Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities (August 19- 25).
Students interested in attending should submit an application at http://www.dep.anl.gov/nx by April 9, 2012. Please note that all the travel and lodging costs for students accepted to attend will be covered as part of the school.
