2018 National School on Neutron & X-ray Scattering

Posted in: Meetings & Conferences,

Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are running the 20th National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering this summer.

The main purpose of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering is to educate graduate students on the utilization of major neutron and x-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, will include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. Students will conduct short experiments at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source and Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities to obtain hands-on experience for using neutron and synchrotron sources.

Dates:

July 22-28 2018 -Argonne National Laboratory

July 28-August 5 2018 -Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Students may apply through either of the following websites (deadline is April 2nd, 2018):
