2013-2014 LANSCE School on Neutron Scattering

新墨西哥州立大学材料研究部的这项奖励为学生参加2013-2014年洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心（LANSCE）中子散射学院提供了支持。LANSCE的中子学派旨在涵盖一个特定的科学主题，其中中子散射已经或有望产生重大影响。2013年和2014年的LANSCE中子散射学院将分别专注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，包括正式的讲座和动手实验，使用LANSCE的中子散射设备。两所学院的主要目标是：a)提供特定主题的深入中子散射训练（特别是研究生在论文研究的早期阶段），b)吸引新的用户到中子散射社区，c)增加专家中子散射的多样性，d)拓宽中子散射可以进一步发展的领域。学生参与者的数量限制在30名左右，从使用各种标准的大型申请人池中选择。特别强调的是选择多元化的学生群体，以促进跨机构，跨学科和多元文化的学习环境。这笔补助金将用于资助被录取的学生参与者的旅费和餐费。

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.
