Final Announcement
Chalk River's 6th Summer School on Neutron Scattering
June 18 - 23, Chalk River Ontario, Canada


This is the final announcement for the upcoming summer school on neutron
scattering to be held at Chalk River between the 18th and 23rd of June.  The
course is appropriate for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
Registration for the summer school will be $200 (CDN) or ~ 140 (US).
Electronic registration is available to you at the following website:

http://neutron.nrc.ca/summer_school_registration.htm


The Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering will be donating $2000 to
defray the registration fees of students in "need of financial assistance",
attending a Canadian university and registering prior to May 15.  Please
note, that if you do not absolutely need financial assistance please do not
apply for it. 

If you have any question regarding the summer school please do not hesitate
to contact John Katsaras (Tel: 613-584-9402 Ext. 3984 or e-mail:
john.katsaras at nrc.ca) or visit the summer school's website at
