[Neutron] Sixth United States National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering

[Ray Osborn]

We are pleased to announce the sixth United States National School on
Neutron and X-ray Scattering to be held at Argonne National Laboratory,
August 15-29, 2004. The main purpose of the School is to educate students on
the utilization of major neutron and x-ray facilities.

Graduate students attending U.S. universities and majoring in physics,
chemistry, materials science, or related fields are encouraged to apply. A
limited number of postdoctoral appointees and junior scientists from
universities, national and industrial laboratories may be selected to attend
as allowed by the class size.

The school consists of tutorial lectures on the principles of scattering
theory, the characteristics of neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources, and
the application of scattering methods to condensed matter research. Hands-on
experiments at both the IPNS and APS provide the students with practical
experience in the use of neutrons and synchrotron x-rays for research. A
series of lectures by prominent scientists on recent research using neutrons
and x-rays are also presented to the students. Topics from many disciplines
(including materials science, condensed matter physics, chemistry, biology,
and geology) is included in both the experiments and lectures.

Applicants are encouraged to register electronically via the internet at
<http://www.dep.anl.gov/nx/> or by contacting:
