Les Journées de la Diffusion Neutronique

Next one in 5-8 October, 2015

SFN

For more than 20 years now the French Neutron Scattering Society (SFN) organizes a neutron school during its annual meeting. The 3.5 days school is devoted to a topic related to neutron scattering and includes a presentation session giving the opportunity for the scientists to exchange their latest results and trends.

The School aims at an audience including researchers and academics as well as beginners or advanced graduate students and post-docs in Solid State Physics, Chemistry and Material Science (expected number of participants is 80). The training objectives of the school are:

Introductory lectures (crystallography, properties of neutrons and neutron sources) are given at the beginning of school before detailing more specific techniques for neutron measurements applied to the various problems (nuclear structure / dynamics / magnetism) and studied materials (powder / single crystal / thin film) as well as the main technical characteristics associated with spectrometers. Practicals on data analysis will be organized to complete the theoretical training.

The whole training will be published in a volume of the “collection SFN” (EDP sciences). All previous published books can be downloaded via http://www.neutron-sciences.org/ (free access).
