38th Berlin School on Neutron Scattering
1st - 9th March 2018
Lise Meitner Campus / Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie
Program
The school program consists of three days of lectures giving a theoretical introduction to fundamentals of neutron scattering and the principles of various neutron scattering techniques. After the lectures, there will be three and a half days of hands-on experiments on seven different neutron scattering instruments. The school will finish with lectures on how neutron scattering can be used for research in various subject areas, e.g. biology, chemistry, engineering and physics.
