The fourteenth annual National Neutron and X-ray Scattering School will be held from August 12 to August 25, 2012 at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Labs. This school provides graduate students with a comprehensive education on the potential uses of the neutron and x-ray facilities in the United States. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, will include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of neutron and synchrotron radiation sources, as well as specialized talks on the application of specific scattering techniques to a variety of scientific disciplines.
