4th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering 2018

The 4th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering will be held at the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) from 16th to 19th of July 2018. The school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight into theory and practice of several modern scattering methods as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), small angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS), surface scattering using a grazing incident X-ray beam (GISAXS/GIXD), and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). This includes lessons about the basics of scattering of X-rays, methodological background of the diverse methods, but also data reduction and data evaluation. Additionally an extern guest will give a talk about experiments at large-scale facilities. During hands-on trainings at our state-of-the-art laboratory instruments the participants will learn to apply X-ray scattering techniques by performing their own measurements on selected samples and by analyzing the experimental data.

It is intended to include a discussion with the participants of the school about the application of X-ray scattering in their own research. The participants are therefore requested to complement their application with a short abstract highlighting their research interests in the context of X-ray scattering.

Due to limitations of our capacity for the hands-on training sessions, only 16 researchers can be accepted. The summer school is mainly dedicated to doctoral candidates but is also open to Bachelor and Master degree students, postdoctoral researchers, and employees.

We expect the completely filled application form including the abstract to be sent to klaus.klagoe.goetz@fau.de not later than the application deadline 8th of June 2018.

Application deadline: June 8th 2018
