Download A3 poster
This school provides training for newcomers to neutron scattering focussing on important classes of structural and functional materials, e.g. concrete and geopolymers, magnetic materials, soft matter and biomaterials, and metals. We will not only have lectures but also practical sessions with hands-on experiments and data analysis. All neutron techniques (available at ANSTO) will be covered in the school, i.e. powder diffraction, single-crystal diffraction, strain scanning, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, and inelastic scattering using three-axis spectrometers.
Important dates
Deadline for Abstracts: 28 March 2008
Selection by 15 April 2008 (selected candidates will receive registration details)
Registration: early bird until 15 June - fee $250 (for AINSE only), $680
after 15 June - fee: $350 (for AINSE only), $780
Who
This school is aimed at PhD students and post docs - novice users and will be limited to 30 people. Participants will be selected based on an abstract (300 words max.) outlining an aspect of their scientific project to be presented as a poster at the school. The abstract should also address how neutrons could help in their research projects and give the name of the supervisor.
Fee
Participants will be asked for a participation fee. Participants affiliated with AINSE member institutions will only pay a participation fee of AUS$250 (early bird until 15 June). For these participants AINSE will cover travel and shared accommodation costs, including meals.
Participants from other institutions will be asked for a course fee of AUS$680 (early bird until 15 June 2008). This includes 5 nights and all meals. One evening: Sydney harbour cruise with dinner.
Accommodation will be shared twin rooms (a single room will be $300 extra - if available) in the Motel close to the site (arrival Sunday 20 July afternoon/evening for registration evening and finish Friday late afternoon).
