Description

Summer course:

Applications of X-ray and neutron scattering in biology, chemistry and physics
2013 To see the preliminary program for the course, click "Timetable" to the left.










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
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.

The list of teachers includes:
University of Copenhagen
- Kim Lefmann
- Kell Mortensen
- Heloisa Bordallo
- Marité Cardenas
- Robert Feidenhans'l
- Linda Udby

Lund University
- Tommy Nylander

Technical University of Denmark
- Kenny Ståhl
- Pernille Harris
- Erik Mejdal Lauridsen

Roskilde University
- Dorthe Posselt
- Bo Jacobsen
- Kristine Niss

ESS
- Hanna Wacklin
- Markus Strobl

MAX IV laboratory
- Katarina Norén

Maximum number of students: 24

Application to the course follows the individual systems of  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 2013. PhD students and/or B.Sc. 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://kurser.ku.dk/course/nfyk12004u/2013-2014 and register via KUnet.
Please note that students from SCIENCE KU must take the 7.5 ECTS version of the course.

Enrolment at DTU:
see the course description at: http://www.kurser.dtu.dk/courses/26265/default.aspx and register via CampusNet.

If you have any questions, please contact Stine Stenfatt West, west@nbi.ku.dk

 

A final program will be available on the first day of the course, where you are expected to show up at the Niels Bohr Institute, Blegdamsvej 17, Auditorium D, in Copenhagen at 9.00 (not 9.15).
