<p class="xmsonormal">Dear Neutron Scattering Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) are pleased to announce the 3<sup>rd</sup> ANSTO – HZB Neutron Training Course to be held from 27<sup>th</sup> October to 1<sup>st</sup>
November 2024 at the ANSTO Lucas Heights Campus, Sydney, Australia. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The aim of the training course is to provide a broad overview of neutron scattering theory and applications to demonstrate the utility of neutron scattering science. The course will consist of lectures and practical sessions using the
neutron beam instruments of the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS). Subjects covered include basic theory, instrumentation, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, deuteration, crystallography and diffraction, imaging, residual stress and strain
scanning, inelastic scattering, quasi-elastic scattering, and polarised neutrons. There will also be a workshop on sample environment equipment and a tutorial on writing proposals. New, for this year, the training course is offering a practical option in computational
analysis (an introduction to DFT calculation with Quantum Espresso). Participants will also have the opportunity to present their work to course participants as well as ANSTO and HZB staff in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at the training course poster
session. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The training course is particularly suited to those who are new to neutron scattering and is aimed at students (Honours, Masters, PhD) and early career researchers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Further details about the course can be found on the Training Course website at: <a href="https://www.ansto.gov.au/whats-on/ansto-hzb-neutron-training-course-2024">https://www.ansto.gov.au/whats-on/ansto-hzb-neutron-training-course-2024</a>.

<p class="xmsonormal">Submissions for Expressions of Interest are currently open and close on Monday 3<sup>rd</sup> June 2024 at midday AEST. Expressions of interest can be submitted at:
