Manuel Lujan Jr., Neutron Scattering Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos New Mexico
Lectures, practicals and tutorials in the uses of neutron scattering in soft condensed matter and structural biology.
Application deadline: 20 March 2006

The school will focus on outstanding issues in soft matter and structural biology where neutrons make fundamental contributions. It will provide an overview of and training in neutron scattering in soft condensed matter and structural biology, including the basics of neutron scattering diffraction and reflection, neutron production; small-angle neutron scattering, reflectometry, diffraction on thermal and cold neutron instruments; experimental methods, data reduction and analysis techniques; and hands-on experiments.
The school is intended primarily for Ph.D. graduate students in the physical, chemical or biological sciences or postdoctoral researchers. Students should have a basic introduction in scattering or diffraction by successfully completing an appropriate course in physics, physical chemistry or biophysical chemistry.
