Graduate students at universities in North America are invited to apply to attend the 23rd National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering, which will be held virtually at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories from July 12-30, 2021.
Purpose:
The main purpose of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering is to educate graduate students in the use of major neutron and x-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, 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 remote experiments and experimental tutorials at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) and Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) facilities to obtain experience using neutron and
synchrotron sources.
Format:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering (NX School) will be held virtually. The first week of the program will consist of half-day lecture sessions, while full-day sessions in the second and third weeks will include remote experiments and data analysis tutorials.
Target audience:
Graduate students attending universities in North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico) majoring in physics, chemistry, materials science, geosciences, engineering, or related fields.
School coordinators:
Stephan Rosenkranz, ANL Bianca Haberl, ORNL
Uta Ruett, ANL Michael Manley, ORNL
John Okasinski, ANL Matthias Frontzek, ORNL
