This 5-day intensive course is an introduction to neutron scattering aimed at highly promising postgraduate students and early-career researchers. This year’s summer course goes back to the basics. It will present several commonly-used scattering techniques and their applications in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, and life sciences. The focus is analysis of neutron scattering data. The summer course will end with an optional tour to China Spallation Neutron Source.
