Registration is open for applications to the "2016 School on Liquid Surface X-ray Scattering: Data Analysis” at https://www.regonline.com/LSXS_2016
When: Thur.-Fri. May 12-13, 2016 (immediately after the 2016 APS/CNM Users Meeting)
Where: The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory
Class size is limited to 15-20 students.
Cost if selected for course: $65
For accepted participants, registration includes box lunches and continental breakfast/coffee breaks each day.
This school will offer a combination of interactive lectures and student activities emphasizing the analysis of synchrotron x-ray scattering data from liquid surfaces and interfaces. Discussion of the theory underlying the data analysis and demonstrations of experimental methodology will be included. These methods are applicable to a wide range of scientific areas, including the study of:
- Monolayers of phospholipids, protein-lipid mixtures, functional molecules, nanoparticles, polymeric and biological macromolecules at liquid-vapor or liquid-liquid interfaces
- Surfaces of complex fluids composed of materials such as polymers, lipids, and liquid crystals
- Surface dynamics
The school will be organized and run by ChemMatCARS (Binhua Lin, Wei Bu, and Mark Schlossman) in collaboration with APS scientific staff at 9-ID (Ivan Kuzmenko), and 8-ID (Zhang Jiang and Joe Strzalka). A complete list of organizers will be available soon.
