<br>
This is the first announcement of the 5th School on Representational Analysis and Magnetic Structures (RAMS). The school is targeted towards researchers interested in applying representational analysis for solving magnetic structures with neutron diffraction.
The school will cover representational analysis and the theory of magnetic structures. The program will include both lectures and labs working with software such as SaraH and FULLPROF. This year, we will also cover magnetic symmetry tools developed on
the Bilbao crystallographic server. Invited lecturers include Andrew Wills (U. College, London), V. Ovidiu Garlea (ORNL), Clarina Dela Cruz (ORNL), and Juan Manuel Perez-Mato (Universidad del Pais Vasco). <br>
<br>
The school will be hosted at the University of Maryland College Park campus and participants can stay on campus at discounted prices. The school will begin Monday morning, August 3rd, and end Thursday late afternoon, August 6th. Visit our site at <a href="http://magnetism-school.org/static/2015">magnetism-school.org/static/2015</a> to
learn more and register.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline for early registration is May 31, 2015. Attendance will be limited to 30 participants, so please apply soon.
