Courses on Synchrotron Radiation
The following is an incomplete list of courses on Synchrotron Radiation. For additional courses, check lightsources.org.
XAFS School
The APS XAFS School covers advanced topics in the analysis of XAFS data. The three-day program includes classroom lectures and hands-on advanced data analysis with Artemis and Ifeffit. The course is aimed at scientists with some experience in XAFS analysis and modeling.
American
Physical Society
A variety of short courses, workshops and tutorials are offered at the respective
meetings.
Berkeley
and Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Summer School
The Berkeley-Stanford and SMB Summer Schools provide lecture programs on the
synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of
scientific applications in the Physical and/or Life Sciences. The goal of the
Summer Schools is to disseminate information about scientific opportunities
in synchrotron radiation applications and train students on experimental techniques.
CERN Accelerator School
CERN accelerator school covers Synchrotron Radiation in the first and second courses with an occasional course on synchrotron radiation and FELs.
Higher European Research Course for Users of Large Experimental Systems
These courses cover neutron and synchrotron radiation for Physics and Chemistry of condensed matter and for Biomolecular structure and dynamics. The 5-week courses of lectures, practicals and tutorials
are held annually during February - March in Grenoble, France.
Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
There are short courses offered at nearly every meeting, links to on-line education,
and courses offered for sale already recorded. Many of the courses are for
hard engineering, but the magnetics society, laser society, and Nuclear and
Plasma Physics Societies are of interest to both beam and beam-line scientists.
International School and Symposium on Synchrotron Radiation in Natural Science
Based in Poland.
National
School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering
The twelfth annual National Neutron and X-ray Scattering School will be held from June 12 to June 26, 2010 at Oak Ridge and Argonne 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. As part of the school, students will receive a hands-on experience in using neutron and synchrotron sources by conduct short experiments at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source and Oak Ridge's Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities. Students will spend approximately one week at each facility. Students interested in attending should submit an application at http://www.dep.anl.gov/nx by March 8, 2010.
Nordic Summer School
Presentations on accelerators and the production of synchrotron radiation, insertion devices and instrumentation. Applications treated during the school include not only materials science, spectroscopy and lithography but also structural analysis: EXAFS and crystallography. Hosted every other year.
Optical
Society of America
Short Courses are taught at almost all of their meetings. Past short courses
may have been video-taped and copies are sometimes available through the presenters.
Upcoming courses are listed on the meeting web-sites.
PSI Summer School on Condensed-Matter Research
The Paul Scherrer Institut holds an annual summer school on Condensed Matter Researhc.
Soft X-Rays and Extreme Ultraviolet Radiation (UC Berkeley)
Live / archived and credit / non-credit courses available.
SPIE
Society of Optical Engineers
They have a complete selection of course titles on-line, on video, and on CD.
They also offer live course on-site, at conference and at SPIE Events.
