Undervisnings- form: Full days (8 hours incl. lunch) with alternating lectures, problem sessions and virtual experiments. For the experiments in the final week, there may be night work for some groups. The course will also include several social arrangements in the evenings, which are optional but recommended. tures, theoretical exercises and experiments at MAXlab
Formål: Introduction to neutron and X-ray large scale facilities and the possibilities they offer.
Indhold:
  • Introduction to the scientific concepts, e.g. biological matter, materials chemistry, soft matter and hard condensed matter
  • Intuitive overview of basic scattering
  • X-ray and neutron production/facilities
  • Scattering methods including examples from science
  • Problem solving and virtual experiments
  • Hands-on experiments including proposal writing, data analysis and presentation of data
