XII School of Neutron Scattering  (SoNS)
“Francesco Paolo Ricci”
“Introduction to the theory and techniques of neutron scattering and applications to Cultural Heritage”
30 April – 9 May 2014
A Course within the International School of Solid State Physics
ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE<http://www.ccsem.infn.it/>, Erice (I)
Application deadline: 1st April 2014


Application is now open for the XII School of Neutron Scattering  (SoNS) “Francesco Paolo Ricci”: Introduction to the theory and techniques of neutron scattering and applications to Cultural Heritage. The school will be held at the ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE<http://www.ccsem.infn.it/>, Erice (Sicily, I) as a specialized course within the International School of Solid State Physics (Director: Giorgio Benedek), between the 30th April and the 9th of May 2014

The course is normally highly oversubscribed, so we encourage applicants to apply early, as late applications will not be accepted.  Students are selected for the course based on their need to utilize neutron scattering techniques as part of their present and/or 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 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The school consists mainly of lectures and tutorials covering both the theory and technical aspects of neutron scattering with a particular emphasis on applications to Cultural Heritage. In addition to lectures on theory, sources, and neutron instrumentation, students will be tutored by world leading experts in the various scattering techniques including diffraction, quasi-elastic and inelastic scattering, imaging, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, and neutron-spin-echo.

Accommodation of participants is organized by the Ettore Majorana Foundation<http://www.ccsem.infn.it/>  (EMFCSC) either in their premises or in local hotels on the basis of the indications provided by the Organizing Committee and by participants in the Travel Form. Special requests should be addressed to the School Scientific Secretary,school_fpricci at its.me.cnr.it<mailto:school_fpricci at its.me.cnr.it>.
