Do you know a graduate student who might benefit from participating in the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering (NXS)? Students can submit applications through March 13.
The main purpose of NXS is to educate graduate students in the use of major neutron and x-ray facilities through hands-on experience with neutron and synchrotron sources. Selected applicants will conduct short in-person experiments and tutorials at SNS and HFIR as well as Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source.
The course format includes lectures presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories; basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources; and seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects.
Graduate students attending universities in North America and majoring in physics, chemistry, materials science, geosciences, engineering or related fields may apply. Visit ORNL’s NXS website and Argonne’s NXS website to learn more.Jointly conducted by:
