[Neutron] NIST/GEORGETOWN School on Representational Analysis and Magnetic Structures (RAMS II) July31-Aug5, 2011

[magnetic]

This is the second announcement of the 2nd NIST School on Representational Analysis and Magnetic Structures (RAMS II).   The workshop is targeted towards young researchers interested in applying representational analysis to the solution of magnetic structures using neutron diffraction.  The workshop will cover representational analysis, theory of magnetic structures, and FULLPROF.  Sessions will include both lecture and hands on "labs" working with standard programs such as SaraH and FULLPROF to solve magnetic structures.  Invited speakers include Laurent Chapon (ISIS),  Andrew Wils (U. College, London),  V. Ovidiu Garlea (ORNL), and A.B. Harris (U. Penn).

The workshop will be hosted at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. (USA).   The workshop will begin Sunday, July 31 and end Friday morning, August 5th.   Registration will include housing in the Georgetown dorms (arrival July 31, checkout Aug 5) with a private room/private bathroom.  To register, visit:

Registration will cost a non-refundable $450 US dollars (taxes already included).  To pay, please contact Mark Green (asiazag at umd.edu).   The deadline for registration is May 13, 2011.  Attendance will be limited to 20 participants and only a few spots remain, so apply soon.  For questions regarding the workshop please contact us at magnetic at nist.gov.
