CHRNS Summer School on Neutron Scattering

This year, a one-week "CHRNS Summer School on Methods and Applications of Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Reflectivity" will be held June 1-5, 2020 at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).Â

This school provides participants the opportunity to learn about small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and neutron reflectometry (NR) at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), via hands-on practical training and theoretical classes. These powerful experimental techniques are used by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the microstructure of materials at length scales ranging from 1nm to 20 microns. The NCNR is home to world-class SANS, USANS (Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering), VSANS and NR instruments, which are available to all qualified researchers through the NCNR's anonymous, peer review proposal system.

Please note that this year the school will not cover inelastic neutron scattering.Â

Application deadline: 6th April 2020. The school is restricted to 42 participants.Â
