Summer School on Neutron Small Angle Scattering and
Reflectometry from Submicron Structures

NIST Center for Neutron Research
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg, MD 20899

June 6, 10-12, 2004

Application Deadline, April 15, 2004

The 2004, tenth annual, NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) summer school will be held in conjunction with the American Conference on Neutron Scattering (ACNS). The summer school will commence on Sunday, June 6th, at the ACNS site on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, Maryland, with a series of introductory lectures covering the fundamentals of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), neutron reflectometry (NR), and cold neutron spectroscopy. Following the ACNS meeting, the summer school will resume on Thursday, June 10th, at the NCNR in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This part of the summer school will run until Saturday afternoon, June 12th, and will emphasize hands-on training on the SANS and NR instruments at the NCNR. The combination of introductory lectures, scientific sessions at the ACNS, and training in scattering techniques at the NCNR will provide participants with a unique opportunity to become familiar with neutron scattering methods and their application to current research topics.

Any student or postdoctoral fellow registered for the ACNS meeting is welcome to attend the tutorial lectures on Sunday, June 6th. However, attendance at the practical training sessions at the NCNR will be limited. Please fill out the summer school Application Form if you are interested in attending the sessions at the NCNR.

The summer school is sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation, and support for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty may be requested by filling out the Financial Assistance form.
