The 16th National School on Neutron and X-Ray Scattering, or NXS 2014, is underway at ORNL this week. Out of 201 applicants, 66 students were selected to participate in this 14-day school. Jointly conducted by Oak Ridge and Argonne National Laboratories, NXS is an opportunity for graduate students to learn in a hands-on environment how to use the major neutron and x-ray facilities.
While at ORNL, the students are conducting demonstration exercises using 18 neutron instruments (7 at HFIR and 11 at SNS) and attending 16 lectures at ORNL resented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories. There are more than 100 volunteers at ORNL supporting NXS 2014. NXS is funded by the Department of Energy Basic Energy Science.
