“Designing and Building a Neutron Instrument”

1st  April – 9th  April 2016, Erice (Italy)
Application deadline: 1  March 2016


Application is now open for “Designing and Building a Neutron Instrument” – the 2nd Course within the Erice School “Neutron Science and Instrumentation” (Directors: Ian S Anderson, Carla Andreani and Roberto Caciuffo) and the XIV School of Neutron Scattering  (SoNS) “Francesco Paolo Ricci”. The course will be held at the ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE<http://www.ccsem.infn.it/>, Erice (Sicily, IT) between the 1st April and the 9th April 2016.
The School is normally highly oversubscribed, so we encourage applicants to apply early, as late applications will not be accepted.  The 2016 Course focuses on the design and construction of neutron instruments for large-scale facilities. In addition to lectures on theory, sources, and neutron instrumentation, students will be tutored by world leading experts in the various neutron scattering techniques. Students will be organized into groups which will design and “build” a neutron instrument during the week. The course thus includes instrument design, as well as instrument project management activities, at the end of which each student will have an overview of the process of designing and building a neutron instrument. Students are selected for the course based on their need to utilize neutron instrument design and construction project techniques as part of their present and/or future research activities.

The school is aimed at young instrument and development scientists, engineers, and designers at international and national neutron facilities, although graduate students or postdocs at universities with an interest in neutron instrument projects would also be welcomed.

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>.
