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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For further information and to register, visit: <a href="http://www.cins.ca/ss2013/">http://www.cins.ca/ss2013/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Address inquiries to the School Director, Dr. Zahra Yamani at zahra.yamani@nrc.gc.ca, or Tel: 613 584 8811 x 43932. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking forward to seeing you in Chalk River!<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
