Length of the visit: 2 days
Visit starts: 2019-05-08 8:30

Kirill´s inquiry: Keywords: wavelength, diffraction, spectrum, wave–particle duality, quantum mechanics, energy diagram, electronic band structure, ionizing radiation.Which one of them are good known/recognizable/not known at all?
Answer in response to Kirill question:
Well understood: wavelength, diffraction, spectrum
Some knowledge: ionizing radiation, energy diagram
Not known: wave-particle duality, quantum mechanics, electronic band structure.
Our quantum mechanics course is unfortunately only on the third year so they have not studied it yet. Some students might have knowledge on the topic if they have studied it on their own or watched videos on Youtube.
Would it be beneficial if I gave them a crash course on the basics on quantum mechanics so that they would have a bit more understanding on the topic before our visit?
Motivation, interest, expectations from the visitors:
The schools was planing an excursion with a group of physics students on may 2019. After various conversations it was clear that, currently quite difficult to match the school agenda and the beamline agenda in order to plan some hands-on experiments. Therefore the visit was planned to have a general tour, presentations about the site and demostrations at FinEstBeAMS.
"It would be very rewarding even without the hands-on experiments."
"We understand very well that it is difficult to arrange schedules around your research and it's alright even if we wouldn't be able to fit the experimental session in the end."
"The program looks very good. I had a look at the indico page.... I think two groups might be enough for this amount of students."
Other Comments:
"It's a very compelling idea to be able to do an actual experiment with the instruments. I took a look at the kind of research that's taking place at MAX-IV, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the beamlines to know what type of experiments could be carried out with students this age. Would you be able to suggest some experiment that might be suitable?"
"It was important to to secure a date for the visit to book ferry tickets and train tickets well in advance."
"have raised the funding for the trip with the students so it's not directly payed by the school."
"The students had a wish to also visit Copenhagen while we're so close by. With this schedule we might start the trip by visiting Copenhagen and then spending the rest of the week in Lund." :)
"around Tunavägen 39 and found a climbing gym" ;)
MAX IV interest:
In the past, at MAX-Lab, and in other facilities (Example Canadian Light Source), there are programs for the upper secondary school, and we are interested on exploring what we could offer at MAX IV.
