Neutron scattering
Join this intensive course on neutron scattering, covering fundamental scattering theory, practical data analysis training and more.
The five-day intensive course is designed for promising postgraduate students and early-career researchers. Apart from fundamental scattering theory and practical data analysis training, the programme covers commonly used techniques with applications in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and life sciences. Participants will have the chance to discuss their research with instructors and explore how neutron scattering can address their project challenges. The course concludes with an optional tour to the China Spallation Neutron Source in Dongguan.
