The Institut
für Festkörperforschung (Institute für Solid State
Research) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, organizes in
cooperation with the University of Münster (Prof. D. Richter, Dr.
R. Zorn) and the RWTH Aachen (Prof. G. Heger, Prof. T. Brückel) a
laboratory course in neutron scattering with experiments at the neutron
scattering facilities of the research reactor FRJ-2 in Jülich.
The
laboratory
course will consist of lectures and an experimental section. The
lectures will encompass an introduction to neutron sources, into
scattering theory and instrumentation. Furthermore, selected topics of
condensed matter will be presented.
The
laboratory course is part of the curriculum of the University of
Münster and the RWTH Aachen.
It is the aim
of the
course to give a realistic insight into the experimental technique
neutron scattering and its scientific power. The Forschungszentrum
Jülich supports non-local students with free accomodation and half
pension. Travel stipendia for foreign students are available by support
from the European Neutron/Muon Initiative NMI3.

- Triple axis spectroscopy
- Texture analysis
- Single crystal diffraction
- Small angle scattering
- Time-of-flight spectroscopy
- Backscattering spectroscopy
- Polarisation analysis
- Neutron Polarisation
- Ultra-small angle scattering
The
participating students will be divided into nine groups. Each group
will
perform one neutron scattering experiment per day, i.e. each group will
work at five different instruments. The experimental data measured will
be analysed by the students assisted by the scientist responsible
für the instrument.
