<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">18<sup>th</sup> Oxford School on Neutron Scattering
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Date and Venue</b>: 3-13 September 2024, St. Anne’s College, University of Oxford.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>Applications: </b>To apply you will need to submit both a personal statement and a statement from your academic supervisor that will be used in the selection process. Applications should arrive no later than mid-night
<b>15<sup>th</sup> April 2024</b>. The course is normally highly oversubscribed, so we encourage applicants to apply in plenty of time, as late applications will not be accepted. Applicants are selected for the course based on their requirements for neutron
scattering techniques as part of their present and future research activities. Applicants will be notified shortly after of the outcome of their application. The school is open to all applicants worldwide.
<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>About the School</b>: The school is intended primarily for scientists, student and postdoctoral researchers, who are new to the field of neutron scattering. It provides an excellent introduction to the field, which is developed through
to its application in contemporary research. Lectures and tutorials covering all aspects of the theory and practice of a variety of neutron scattering techniques will be given by international experts. Students will gain a comprehensive grounding in modern
techniques and applications at both steady state and pulsed neutron sources and have the opportunity to hear about the latest research being carried out with the technique.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>Programme:</b> The first week of the school introduces students to the core concepts of neutron scattering, neutron sources and instrumentation, neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. The second week splits tuition into three focused
science areas, physics, chemistry and soft/bio, and provides lectures on neutron techniques and concepts which are most relevant to each area. Each lecture will be accompanied by a tutorial session. The students will be asked to make short presentations to
their peers about their current research projects and work in pairs to write a beamtime proposal. The students will also have the opportunity to visit the ISIS Pulsed Neutron and Muon Facility in Didcot, and to attend a number of evening lectures from prestigious
names from the neutron community. <o:p></o:p></p>
