Synchrotron Radiation
Summer School 2004
31 August ~10 September
Chester College and Daresbury Laboratory
Outline Programme
Details of the Summer School programme are being arranged and will be made available as soon as possible. In the meantime, a list of planned topics is given below, and details of the 2002 school can be seen on SR School 02; the 2004 school is expected to be similar in coverage, but will probably follow a different timetable and have a combination of lectures and tutorial sessions.
- General and introduction
- History and background of SR
- Production and properties of SR
- Future prospects, including storage rings and free electron lasers
- SR theory and practice
- Operation of SR storage rings
- Bending magnets and insertion devices
- Optics
- Detectors
- Computer control, robotics
- Safety
- Scientific applications and appropriate theory
- Crystalline diffraction
- 'Small-molecule' and macromolecular crystallography
- Powder diffraction
