Scope of school
The laboratory course will consist of one week of lectures followed by a one week of experiments. The lectures will encompass an introduction to neutron sources, into scattering theory and instrumentation. Furthermore, selected topics of condensed matter science will be presented. It is the aim of the course to give a realistic insight into the experimental techniques of neutron scattering and its scientific power. As in the last year we will include some propaedeutic lectures on the mathematical and quantum-mechanical foundations of scattering theory.
