[Neutron] Announcing the 26th NCNR / CHRNS School on Methods and Applications of Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Reflectivity

[Dura, Joseph A. (Fed)]

[cid:image003.png at 01D6A6C5.934F3C60]The 26th "CHRNS Summer School on Methods and Applications of Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Reflectivity" originally planned for June 1-5, 2020 at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), will now be held virtually, on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, February 3 -12, 17, and 19, 2021.

If you have already applied for the summer school your application is still valid, and you will be contacted with an option to confirm, or to withdraw your application if you no longer want to be considered.

New applications are being accepted Early application is advised since attendance is strictly limited and typically we receive more applications than the maximum number of participants.  Deadline: November 16, 2020.

This school provides participants the opportunity to learn about small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and neutron reflectometry (NR) from scientists at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).  These powerful experimental techniques are used by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the microstructure of materials at length scales ranging from 1nm to 20 microns.

This school emphasizes hands-on practical training on data reduction and analysis for the instruments mentioned above as well as a thorough theoretical overview of these measurement techniques.  Applications of these techniques will be illustrated by specific examples drawn from recent cutting-edge research on polymer science, magnetic materials, complex fluids, biology/biophysics, microporous media, and more.  The course will enable attendees to assess the applicability of the techniques to their own research and will provide the technical information needed to prepare effective beam time proposals.  The school is sponsored by the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS), jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and NIST. Attendance will be limited to 36 participants, and only applicants from North American institutions will be accepted.
