Abstract

The Tenth U.S. National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering will be held September 24-October 11, 2008, at Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The purpose of the School is to educate graduate students on the utilization of major neutron and x-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, will include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. The neutron portion of the School will be held at ORNL on September 28-October 2, 2008.

We are pleased to open the lecture portion only of the program to ORNL staff and others who are already approved for access to the ORNL site and building 8600. Refreshments and food are available for School participants only. There is a satellite canteen in building 8600.
