[Neutron] Reminder: Deadline 1st May for Registration to the 13th Oxford School of Neutron Scattering, 2-13 Sept 2013

[OSNS at stfc.ac.uk]

13th Oxford School of Neutron Scattering
2nd – 13th September 2013
Application deadline: 1st May 2013

     Application is now open for the 13th Oxford School of Neutron Scattering, to be held at the Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford, between the 2nd and the 13th of September 2013.
     To apply, click here<http://wwwisis2.isis.rl.ac.uk/useroffice/OSNS2013/Application.asp>. Applications should arrive no later than the 1st May 2013.  The course is normally highly oversubscribed, so we encourage applicants to apply in plenty of time, as late applications will not be accepted.  Students are selected for the course, based on their requirements for neutron scattering techniques as part of their present and future research activities.
     The school provides an excellent introduction to neutron scattering which is developed through to its application in contemporary research. As such it is ideally suited to research students and postdoctoral researchers. The school consists mainly of lectures and tutorials in the theory and practicalities of neutron scattering, and includes a tour of the ISIS pulsed neutron facility in Didcot.
     In the first week of the school, students are introduced to the core concepts of the theory of neutron scattering, neutron sources and instrumentation and neutron diffraction. In the second week, the school covers more specialised neutron scattering techniques, and applications to scientific fields of interest.  Among the techniques covered in the second week are; inelastic scattering, polarized neutrons, imaging techniques, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, neutron-spin-echo and quasi-elastic neutron scattering.   For the final two days of the course, students can choose to follow three of the following six scientific subject areas; magnetism, soft matter, biology, engineering, chemical applications and amorphous materials.
     Accommodation and board is provided at St Anne’s College<http://www.st-annes.ox.ac.uk/>, Oxford, including breakfast and evening meals.  There are limited places available for non-residential attendees who do not require local accommodation.
     The fees for the school are £520 (€640) per student, or £220 (€270) for non-residential places.  In addition to the accommodation and board, the fee includes all course materials, social receptions, and a gala dinner on the second Wednesday of the school.
