2013-2014 LANSCE School on Neutron Scattering

1340465纳科特该奖项由材料研究部颁发给新墨西哥州州立大学，为学生参加2013-2014年洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心（LANSCE）中子散射学校提供支持。LANSCE中子学校旨在涵盖一个特定的科学主题，中子散射已经或预计将产生重大影响。2013年和2014年LANSCE中子散射学校将分别侧重于极端环境中的地球科学和材料以及中尺度科学和界面。每年的学校将运行9-10天，他们包括正式讲座和动手实验，使用中子散射设施在LANSCE.这两所学校的主要目标是：a）提供特定主题的深入中子散射培训（特别是对于处于论文研究早期阶段的研究生），B）吸引新用户加入中子散射社区，c）增加中子散射专家之间的多样性，以及d）拓宽中子散射可以进一步发展的领域。学生参与者的数量被限制在30名学生，从一个大型的申请人池使用各种标准选择。特别强调选择多样化的学生团体，以促进跨机构，跨学科和多文化的学习环境。这笔赠款将支持接受学生参与者的旅行和膳食。

1340465NakotteThis award from the Division of Materials Research to New Mexico State University provides supports for students to attend the 2013-2014 Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Schools on Neutron Scattering. The LANSCE neuton schools are intended to cover a particular science topic, for which neutron scattering has made or is expected to make a major impact. The 2013 and 2014 LANSCE Schools on Neutron Scattering will focus on Geosciences and Materials in Extreme Environments and Mesoscale Sciences and Interfaces, respectively. Each of the annual schools will run for 9-10 days and they consist of formal lectures and hands-on experiments, using the neutron scattering facilities at the LANSCE.The main objectives of both school are: a) to provide in-depth neutron-scattering training in a particular topic (in particular, for graduate students in their early stage of thesis research), b) to attract new users to the neutron-scattering community, c) to increase diversity among expert neutron scatterers, and d) to broaden the field where neutron scattering can develop further. The number of student participants is limited to ~30 students, selected from a large applicant pool using a variety of criteria. A particular emphasis is put on selecting a diverse student body in order to foster a cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary and multicultural learning environment. This grant will support travel and meals for accepted student participants.
