[Neutron] Summer School on Methods and Applications of Neutron Spectroscopy

[John Copley]

A one-week "Summer School on Methods and Applications of Neutron
Spectroscopy" will be held June 20-24, 2005 at the NIST Center for
Neutron Research.  For information about the summer school go to
http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/summerschool/ss05.

In the lectures and hands-on demonstrations we shall emphasize methods
that employ long wavelength neutrons to achieve high energy resolution,
enabling the study of dynamical processes over a wide range of time
scales, from ~100 ns to ~1 ps. The demonstrations will use four of the
cold neutron instruments (disk chopper spectrometer, backscattering
spectrometer, spin echo
spectrometer and SPINS triple-axis spectrometer), plus the FANS filter
analyzer spectrometer.  The course will be targeted at those with little
or no previous experience with neutron inelastic scattering methods.
(Small angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry techniques
will not be covered.)

The Summer School is sponsored in part by the National Science
Foundation, and limited support for graduate students, postdocs and
junior faculty will be available.  Attendance will be limited to 32
participants, and preference will be accorded applicants from North
American institutions.

For further information, and/or to apply, please go to
http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/summerschool/ss05. Early application is advised
since attendance is strictly limited: typically we receive many more
applications than the maximum number of participants.
