Purpose
The purpose of the Summer School is to give the participants an introduction to the basic principles of spectroscopy and microscopy at synchrotron and neutron facilities. The lectures will cover both theoretical and experimental aspects, with particular emphasis on the utilization of three prominent experimental probes available at PSI: synchrotron light, neutrons, and muons. For admission, no specialized knowledge of the subject is required, but a masters degree (or equivalent) in natural sciences is necessary. In addition to the lectures, there will be poster and discussion sessions in which the participants are welcome to present their own results in the fi eld of condensed matter.


Topics
Angle-resolved photoemission, resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering, inelastic neutron scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, muon spin rotation, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray transmission microscopy, photo-emission microscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, photoelectron diffraction, spectroscopy of orbital ordering, spectroscopy of correlated electron systems, superconductivity.
