Scattering from Soft Matter

11 Nov 2013, 12:00 → 15 Nov 2013, 13:00 Europe/Stockholm

Sibirien (MAX IV Laboratory)

Chalmers Soft Matter Graduate School is organizing a school on the topic of scattering from soft matter. The aim of the school is to bring together PhD students interested in small angle scattering with X-rays and neutrons. Through a series of lectures and exercises, by scientist from Lund University, MAX IV Laboratory and ESS, we will cover aspects of small angle scattering with application to soft matter research. Students will also have the opportunity to perform experiments at the GANESHA facility at Lund University and the SAXS beamline, I911-4, at the MAX IV Laboratory.
