Participants at the 2013 Lab Course.
The registrations for the 18th session of the JCNS Laboratory Course on Neutron Scattering are now open. The aim of the course to give a realistic insight into the experimental technique of neutron scattering and its scientific potential. The application deadline is the 25th of May.
The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science of Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, every year organises in cooperation with the University of Münster (Prof. D. Richter, Dr. R. Zorn) and the RWTH Aachen University (Prof. T. Brückel, Prof. G. Heger, Prof. G. Roth) a laboratory course in neutron scattering with experiments at the neutron scattering facilities of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum.
Participants background
If you are a student of physics, chemistry, material science or biosciences with a BSc (or Vordiplom or equivalent), you are welcome to apply to the 18th JCNS Laboratory Course Neutron Scattering at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
To follow the course, you will need an elementary knowledge of applied mathematics, solid state physics and quantum mechanics which is usually part of a BSc in natural sciences. The course is on beginner level and is not intended for post-docs who already have some experience with neutron scattering.
Two sessions
The course consists of two parts: a series of lectures, combined with the opportunity to take part in neutron scattering experiments. The lectures encompass an introduction to neutron sources, along with scattering theory and instrumentation. Furthermore, selected topics of condensed matter research are be presented.
Lectures are held at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the experiments take place at the neutron facilities of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum in Garching near Munich.
The laboratory course is part of the curriculum of the University of Münster and the RWTH Aachen.
