[Neutron] Application Deadline Approaching - Announcing the 29th CHRNS Summer School on Methods and Applications of Neutron Spectroscopy

[Harriger, Leland W. (Fed)]

[https://www.ncnr.nist.gov/images/chrns_logo.gif]A one-week "CHRNS Summer School on Methods and Applications of Neutron Spectroscopy" will be held from July 17 - July 21, 2023 at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).

Please note that this year the school will not cover SANS or neutron reflectometry.

This school provides participants the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of neutron scattering techniques using instruments at NIST including the disk chopper spectrometer (DCS), backscattering spectrometer (HFBS), BT-7 double focusing triple-axis spectrometer, multi-axis crystal spectrometer (MACS), and neutron spin echo spectrometer (NSE). These powerful experimental techniques are used by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the dynamics of materials over time scales ranging from 1 ps to 100 ns with length scales from under 1 nm to over 100 nm. This school emphasizes hands-on practical training for the instruments mentioned above as well as an overview of these measurement techniques. Applications of dynamical techniques will be illustrated by specific examples drawn from recent research on soft and hard condensed matter systems. 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 Summer School is sponsored by the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS), jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and NIST. Limited support for graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty will be available. Attendance will be limited to 35 participants, and only applicants from North American institutions will be accepted.

For further information, and/or to apply, please go to: https://www.nist.gov/ncnr/chrns/education-and-outreach/chrns-summer-school-neutron-scattering. Early application is advised since attendance is strictly limited and typically, we receive more applications than the maximum number of participants. Deadline: March 1, 2023.
