NNSP/SWEDNESS school

NNSP/SWEDNESS Neutron School 2023

NNSP contains an annual neutron school about neutron scattering for, in particular, 1st year PhD students.

The Nordic Neutron Science Programme (NNSP) and the Swedish Neutron Education for Science & Society (SwedNess) programme are proud to present the 6th Graduate School on Neutron Scattering. The school will take place in Lund, Sweden - September 11-22nd, 2023 (introduction days, September 9th and 10th).

The school is intended for starting PhD students, but also M.Sc. students in the field and post docs new to the field are welcome.

The school covers an introduction to neutron scattering, with the topics:

  • Principles of scattering and neutron instrumentation
  • Diffraction
  • Small-angle scattering
  • Reflectivity
  • Imaging
  • Inelastic scattering
  • Quasielastic scattering
  • Magnetic diffraction and inelastic scattering
  • Use of polarized neutrons


The course will start with two optional introductory days, September 9th and 10th, covering the topics:

  • Complex numbers and complex exponentials
  • Fourier transformation
  • Connection between matter and waves
  • Mathematical description of waves in one and three dimensions

We recommend that students from Life Science consider joining the introductory days, while students from Physical Sciences would likely not need to.
 
The last day of the School will be formed as a small project exam. Upon passing the exam, the students will receive a course diploma. The course organizers have valued the School to 4 ECTS.

Deadline for registrations is July 9th.
 

The school is free of charge, as it is sponsored by NordForsk; the Research Council of the Nordic countries. However, students from outside the Nordic countries will have to cover their own travel and accommodation.
