Synchrotron Radiation School (SR school 2018)
| - |
In Oxford and Diamond Light Source
The school will be co-located at Diamond and Jesus College, Oxford, with participants staying in Oxford.
The SR School provides postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers, who have little experience of Synchrotron Radiation (SR), a broad-based introduction to many of the different types of experiments conducted using SR. It is largely aimed at physical scientists, but life scientists are welcome to apply. The school gives the attendees the opportunity to obtain hands-on practical experience of performing an experiment on several of the Diamond beamlines. At least 14 Diamond beamlines will be particpating in the school (see below for details).
