<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This school provides participants the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of neutron scattering techniques using instruments at NIST including the
disk chopper spectrometer (DCS), backscattering spectrometer (HFBS), BT-7 double focusing triple-axis spectrometer, multi-axis crystal spectrometer (MACS), and neutron spin echo spectrometer (NSE).
</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">These powerful experimental techniques are used by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the dynamics of materials over time scales ranging
from 1 ps to 100 ns with length scales from under 1 nm to over 100 nm. This school emphasizes hands-on practical training for the instruments mentioned above as well as a thorough theoretical overview of these measurement techniques.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390">
</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Applications of dynamical techniques will be illustrated by specific examples drawn from recent cutting-edge research on soft and hard condensed matter systems. The
course will enable attendees to assess the applicability of the techniques to their own research and will provide the technical information needed to prepare effective beam time proposals. The Summer School is sponsored by the Center for High Resolution Neutron
Scattering (CHRNS), </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and NIST</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">.
Limited support for graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty will be available. Attendance will be limited to 35 participants, and only applicants from North American institutions will be accepted.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4061390"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
