Aim of the School

This school, established in 1994, is primarily addressed to graduate students or postdoctoral with an interest in Neutron Scattering. The School will comprise lectures, tutorials, practicals and hands-on data analysis sessions, covering diverse aspects of Neutron Scattering, but with an emphasis on techniques and instrumentation designed to study the : Microscopic Dynamics of Simple and Hydrogen-bonded Quantum Fluids, Quantum Momentum Distributions, Effective Born-Oppenheimer Potentials, High Energy Excitations, High Energy Neutron Imaging, Deep Inelastic neutron scattering , High Energy Neutron Irradiation Effects.

The School will start on Saturday, September 25th 2010, with a series of in introductory lectures covering the fundamental aspects of neutron scattering and neutron instrumentation. During the next days, a series of lectures will provide the basis of electronvolt neutron spectroscopy, with particular on new instrumental and data handling techniques.
Practicals will be carried out at the neutron@BTF pulsed neutron source at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati – INFN.

At the end of the school, students are invited to attend the International workshop: “High-energy neutrons for science and society “, which will be held on October 5th and 6th 2010 at Villa Wolkonsky, the UK ambassador’s residence in Rome.

Whorkshop on the “Structure and Dynamics of Hydrogen-bonded systems” (26th-27th October 2009)

redazione — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:59:53 +0000

A two-day Workshop on the “Structure and Dynamics of Hydrogen-bonded systems” will be held at the ICTP in Trieste (Italy), 26 and 27 October 2009. Advances in experimental tools and computational methods are making this an extremely exciting time for the field, a time when substantial advances in our understanding of hydrogen bonded systems appear possible. The focus of this meeting will be on cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches, and on recent results aiming at describing and understanding the peculiarities of hydrogen-bonded systems in condensed phases such as solids, liquids, and macromolecular systems.

Topics covered include: Structure and dynamics of hydrogen-bonded liquids and solids, Hydrogen-bonded systems in confined geometries, Biomolecular systems: proteins and DNA, Polymorphism, High pressure phases and phase diagrams, Water and aqueous solutions, Ferroelectric ices. Techiques include: Neutron Diffraction, Compton and quasi-elastic neutron scattering, X-ray diffraction and inelastic scattering, Pump-probe spectroscopy, Classical and Quantum Molecular Dynamics, Ab initio electronic structure calculations, Path integral methods, Wave function methods for vibrations.

Long-Pulse Instrumentation Workshop (26th-28th August 2009)

redazione — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:26:23 +0000

The European community is currently working to develop plans for the ESS, a 5 MW long-pulse spallation neutron source, and the SNS in the US is currently developing plans for a second target station (STS) operating in the long-pulse mode at ~1 MW. Therefore it makes sense for the US and European communities to pool resources to develop a better understanding of what might be possible with neutron beam instrumentation optimized for operation at high-power long-pulse spallation neutron sources.

SIMPOSIO-Tecniche Fisiche nelle applicazioni Biomediche (20 Aprile 2009)

redazione — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:23:43 +0000

Aula Fleming

Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia

Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata

Il SIMPOSIO ha gli obiettivi di illustrare le opportunità in biologia e medicina offerte dalle nuove sorgenti di radiazioni basate su fasci di ioni, Laser ad Elettroni Liberi e neutroni, con particolare attenzione ai possibili sviluppi scientifici e tecnologici che tali sorgenti consentiranno ed alle prospettive per la comunità scientifica dell’area romana, nazionale ed internazionale. Oggi nel mondo migliaia di ricercatori, di enti di ricerca, università ed industria, utilizzano la sonda luce di sincrotrone, ione e neutrone per condurre ricerca di frontiera e complementare, ad esempio nei settori delle scienze ambientali, delle bioscienze, dell’ingegneria, delle scienze chimiche, farmaceutiche, fisiche e geologiche, delle scienze mediche e dei materiali. L’enfasi del simposio sarà sulle opportunità delle sonde ioni, luce e neutroni nei settori della radioterapia e diagnostica molecolare, della caratterizzazione dei sistemi biologici per quei fenomeni che avvengono su scala spaziale nanometrica, e su scala temporale dei femtosecondi.

Locandina

La partecipazione al Simposio è gratuita ed aperta a tutti gli interessati. Per esigenze organizzative comunque è necessario confermare la propria partecipazione alla segreteria organizzativa entro il giorno 16 Aprile 2009, all’indirizzo e-mail: infomedicina@uniroma2.it
