Purpose: The main purpose of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering is to educate graduate students attending U.S. universities on the utilization of major neutron and x-ray facilities. The school consists of tutorial lectures on the principles of scattering theory, the characteristics of neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources, and the application of scattering methods to condensed matter research. Hands-on experiments at both the IPNS and APS provide the students with practical experience in the use of neutrons and synchrotron x-rays for research. A series of lectures by prominent scientists on recent research using neutrons and x-rays are also presented to the students. Topics from many disciplines (including materials science, condensed matter physics, chemistry, biology, and geology) is included in both the experiments and lectures.
Experiments for the 2004 School
Target Audience: Graduate students pursuing doctorate degrees who are attending U.S. universities and majoring in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related fields. A very limited number of postdoctoral appointees and junior scientists from universities, national and industrial laboratories may be selected to attend as allowed by the class size.
Jointly Conducted by: Argonne National Laboratory's Division of Educational Programs, Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, Advanced Photon Source, and Materials Science Division.
