[Neutron] reminder: 12th Canadian Neutron Scattering Summer School at Chalk River on June 2-7, 2013

[Yamani, Zahra - NRC]

Reminder that the early-bird registration deadline of April 15, 2013 is
only one week away.  There are still a few spots available, please
register as soon as possible. 

 

 

The Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering will be holding the 12th
Canadian Neutron Scattering Summer School on June 2 - 7, 2013.  The
school will be organized by the Canadian Neutron Beam Centre at the
Chalk River Laboratories, Chalk River, Ontario.  The school consists of
morning lectures and afternoon hands-on experiments.  The lectures will
be presented by national and international experts and cover an in-depth
overview of neutron scattering.  The afternoon hands-on experiments
offer participants an excellent opportunity to learn about a variety of
neutron scattering techniques using instruments at the NRU reactor at
Chalk River.  There will be a few special events including a mixer and a
barbecue night in the evenings. 

  

The curriculum is a broad overview of neutron methods and applications
in a wide range of scientific areas, such as magnetism, industrial, thin
films and soft materials.  The school is aimed at graduate students and
post-docs who have no prior knowledge of neutron scattering techniques,
and with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, materials science, biology,
or mineralogy.  

 

Registration is limited to 30 students.  Places will be allotted on a
first come-first served basis, and subject to applicants meeting
requirements for security clearance to enter the Chalk River site.  The
early-bird registration deadline is April 15, 2013.  The registration
fee is $350 CAD before the deadline and $400 thereafter, and will cover
course material and food on mixer and barbecue nights.
