[Neutron] 24th National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering

[Rosenkranz, Stephan]

The 24th National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering (NX School) will take place from July 10-22, 2022, conducted jointly by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

The purpose of the NX School is to educate graduate students in the use of major neutron and x-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. Students will conduct short experiments and experimental tutorials at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) and Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) facilities to obtain experience using neutron and synchrotron sources.

Graduate students attending universities in North America are invited to apply the 24th NXSchool. Applications must be received by March 7, 2022
The application process is quite competitive and requires submission of evaluation letters from the student’s advisor and two other professionals familiar with the student.
Complete and submit your application through http://bit.ly/NXSchool. .

Note: We intend to host this school in person at Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. However, our plans are contingent on the federal and local COVID-19 controls and guidance in place on the date of the event. If the event is unable to take place in person, programming will shift to a virtual format.
