Applications of X-Ray and Neutron Scattering in Biology, Chemistry and Physics

2012 participants:

Two major research facilities, ESS(neutrons) and MAX-IV(X-rays) are being built in the Øresund region. This course is a chance to be able to take advantage of the opportunities this offers in your future carreer, and also

  • Learn to use characterization methods with a wide range of applications in e.g. biology, materials science, geology, physics and chemistry
     
  • Explore a possible thesis subject
     
  • Earn ECTS in your summer vacation (5 ECTS for the basic course or 7.5 ECTS if you write an extra report afterwards)
     
  • Meet other students from the Øresund region in or outside you field
     
  • Do experiments at a large scale research facility



Latest updates:
-social events: barbeque night, snacks/beer/soda
-Lunch all days (sandwiches) is sponsored by the course
- time table has been updated Aug. 3rd. Note that you have to be at the Niels Bohr Institue at 9.00 on the first day (all other days start at 9.15).


The course aims to make you able to participate in neutron or X-ray experiments at large scale research facilities. Prior knowledge of scattering is not required, but you must have a B.Sc. in science or technology or equivalent. The course is multi-disciplinary and involves several universities. Teaching locations will therefore vary, but cross-Øresund travel costs will be refunded. The course includes several social events, e.g. dinner and tours of the locations.

Application to the course follows the individual systems of Lund University, University of Copenhagen and Technical University of Denmark. If you are not a student at one of these universities, you must enrol as a guest student. The deadline for application is June 1st 2012. PhD students will be allowed to enrol in the course if less than 24 master students apply. Please contact Stine Stenfatt West (see below) directly.

Enrolment at KU:
see the course description at: http://sis.ku.dk/kurser/viskursus.aspx?knr=145286 and register via KUnet.
Please note that students from SCIENCE KU must take the 7.5 ECTS version of the course.

Enrolment at LU:
send an e-mail to Tomas Brage (tomas.brage@fysik.lu.se), enclosing your transcript of records.

Enrolment at DTU:
