imaging methods with x-rays and neutrons like absorption and phase-contrast tomography, Bragg-edge mapping and magnetic imaging with neutrons as well as neutron autoradiography. Talks related to data processing and analysis will show the new trends in this field. Applications related to industry and science will be in the focus of the school. The participants will have the opportunity to have “hands-on instruments” and perform imaging experiments with x-rays and neutrons in the labs of HZB. This school is primarily aimed at advanced students who have completed their undergraduate studies and early stage researchers  e.g. PhD students and postdocs.
Closing date for application is 15^th May 2013.

The flyer will constantly be updated on the ISUenergy website.
From March 1st, applications can be submitted under the following link: http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/events/isu-energy/.

√2x√2 reconstruction that is best described by a Jahn-Teller stabilization [3].  Theoretical studies state that, at room temperature, this surface reconstruction resembles the bulk-like state below the Verwey transition [4].  We show that the √2 reconstruction forms an adsorption template for a diverse array of atoms and molecules [5, 6, 7, 8], with potentially interesting implications for using this system as a model catalyst.

will be organized in two main sessions: mornings are dedicated to general aspects of magnetism (exchange interactions, crystal field anisotropy, higher order interactions, ...) presented by distinguished scientists in the field, while afternoons will concentrate on the practical aspects using the McPhase software suite.
The school targets mainly PhD students and young scientists. Participants are encouraged to present their scientific work in a dedicated poster session.

proton beams. Open to users from around the globe, J-PARC is a multi-purpose and multidisciplinary facility that is unique in the variety of secondary-particle beams produced and put to use in cutting-edge research across a wide range of scientific fields.
In normal operation mode, over 90% of the protons accelerated in the RCS are directed to the muon and neutron production targets in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF).

(NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The conference is jointly hosted by the Cornell University Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), and the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF III). The conference includes oral and poster presentations related to recent developments in synchrotron sources, instrumentation, experimental techniques, detectors, beamline optics, lithography, and other exciting areas of synchrotron research. Facility posters will also be presented.

talk on a selected scientific achievement, in such a way that all participants can gain a broader sense of the benefits of the various approaches described. Basic information on the complementary properties of the different types of techniques, their data interpretation, as well as information on recent applications and developments will also be given.

those developing theoretical analyses to meet and to foster improved links between the X-ray and neutron scattering communities.

on latest developments in the field of neutron optics.

time-of-flight and filter-analyser instruments provide high quality spectral distributions of vibration density in the energy domain from a few meV (tens of cm-1) to a few hundred meV (thousands of cm-1), which serve as input to, and constraints of, models of atomic bonding and even structural models of these complex compounds. The Workshop will highlight the existing experimental capabilities in the leading neutron scattering centres (ILL, ISIS, SNS and others) as well as available computational resources. The principal aim of the Workshop will consist of an exchange of results and ideas from different techniques and methods, both experimental and computational. An additional goal is to receive input from the existing community in order to identify trends in scientific directions, to define the most informative experiments to be performed as well as future needs in modelling and new instrumentation. Naturally, while emphasising neutron scattering based studies we will give sufficient space to optical and X-ray spectroscopy in order to understand what the whole community needs to enable insight into complex materials.

laboratories, include basic tutorials on the principles of neutron and x-ray scattering theory, the characteristics of Neutron and Synchrotron X-ray sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects.  As part of the school, students also conduct a series of short experiments to provide some hands-on experience using instruments at neutron and synchrotron sources, at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, and Oak Ridge's Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities.

scientific frontier themes and challenges in the field of materials sciences with a strong connection to the superb analytical potential at current and future research infrastructures (synchrotron radiation, X-rays and neutrons) in the baltic region. The RACIRI summer school will be held every year under a special focus theme. Its venue rotates annually among the three partnering countries. The first RACIRI summer school will be held under the focus theme "Soft Matter and Nano Composites" on 17 - 25 August 2013 in Petergof (or Peterhof), a district of St. Petersburg, Russia.

The PSI summer school 2013 is dedicated to some of the main topics addressed at large scale user facilities 

such as neutron, muon or synchrotron photon sources: Materials - structure and magnetism. 

International experts and PSI staff members will introduce and deepen your knowledge not only about these 

scientific topics but also about the main methods applied to understand the phenomena, 

Muon Sources, as well as the science emerging from Synchrotron Light Sources. The LPBMS-2013 program committee will focus on strongly correlated electron system, magnetism and magnetic materials, spintronics, soft matter, interface and surface, defects, and so on.
