The Polarized Neutron School will provide a comprehensive introduction to polarized neutrons, techniques and scientific applications. Staff will give a series of lectures focused on neutron scattering techniques and applications for a variety of scientific fields. These lectures will cover small-angle scattering, reflectometry, diffraction/inelastic scattering, and instrumentation. The lectures will be followed by hands-on experiments in small groups and the relevant data reduction process. The school will be held from July 24th to July 25th, 2022 at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This will provide a useful background before the PNCMI conference.
The school is intended for graduate students and young postdoctoral researchers familiar with scattering techniques. The maximum number of participants is limited to 15 students from North America. For more information please email PNCMI2022@nist.gov.
The school is free for all selected students. Accommodations, breakfast, and lunch will be provided in both days.
