2013-2014 LANSCE School on Neutron Scattering

1340465 Nakotte材料研究部授予新墨西哥州立大学的这一奖项为2013-2014年的洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心(LANSCE)中子散射学校的学生提供了支持。LANSCNeuton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对该主题产生重大影响。2013年和2014年LANSCE中子散射学院将分别侧重于地球科学和极端环境中的材料以及中尺度科学和界面。这两所学校的主要目标是：a)为某一特定主题提供深入的中子散射培训(特别是为处于论文研究早期阶段的研究生提供)；b)吸引新的用户进入中子散射领域；c)增加专业中子散射者的多样性；d)拓宽中子散射进一步发展的领域。学生参与人数限制为约30名学生，他们是从使用各种标准的大量申请者中挑选出来的。特别强调选择一个多样化的学生群体，以培养一个跨机构、跨学科和多文化的学习环境。这笔助学金将为被录取的学生参与者提供旅费和餐费。

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.
