About the School
The Oxford School on Neutron Scattering is intended primarily for scientists who are new to the field of neutron scattering. Lectures and tutorials covering all aspects of the theory and practice of neutron diffraction and spectroscopy will be given by international experts. Students will gain a comprehensive grounding in modern techniques and applications at both steady state and pulsed neutron sources and have the opportunity to hear about the latest research being carried out with the technique.
Programme
The programme consists of lectures, tutorials and problem classes taking place each weekday with occasional evening lectures. In addition, students make short presentations to the school about their current research projects.
There will also be an opportunity to visit the nearby ISIS Pulsed Neutron and Muon Source.
Topics covered during the school include:
- Neutron sources
- Neutron instrumentation
- Neutron scattering theory
- Diffraction
- Spectroscopy
- Small angle scattering
- Reflectometry
- Polarised neutrons
- Engineering
- Neutrons & X-rays

Accommodation
Accommodation will be provided in single rooms in Mansfield College, Oxford from Monday 3 September to Saturday 15 September. Breakfast and evening meals will be provided at Mansfield College for each day of the school.
Students will be expected to arrive on Monday 3 September and depart on Saturday 15 September.
Lectures and tutorials take place within the University of Oxford.
School fees
50 places are available for students attending the school. The cost per student for the Oxford School on Neutron Scattering is £425 (€ 635). We regret that no bursaries are available from the school since we have used money from our supporting partners to reduce the total cost per student for all students.
You may be able to attract sponsorship or contributions to the school fees from learned societies or government science agencies in your home country.
Social programme
A lively social programme is planned including a drinks reception and gala dinner and quiz evening. There will be opportunities for punting on the Oxford rivers, visiting historic places and exploring the city.
