Scope of school
The School on „Pulsed Neutron Sources – Enhancing the Capacity for Materials Science” aims at spreading the knowledge on the technology and application potential of neutron sources -in particular pulsed ones- to materials science. While mainly focusing on materials research with neutrons, the complementarities that are offered by muons and synchrotron radiation will be emphasized by short introductions to these techniques in the first week, a common treatment in the lectures on the theoretical principles and also in the examples of practical research topics that will be the subject of the second half of the school. The School is designed to alert graduate and post doctoral students to the possibilities offered by accelerator generated probes (neutrons, muons and synchrotron radiation) in the investigation of materials for practical applications and to familiarize them with the principles and technology of pulsed neutron sources and their application. It will cover all aspects of the design and optimization of pulsed neutron sources, explaining the flexibility and limitations that exist in providing customer-tailored beams for different kinds of applications. The idea is to bring together potential future source designers and users, establish contacts and generate a better mutual understanding on the one hand and to encourage the use of existing facilities on the other.
