Dear all, The ILL is organising the 2nd Annual School on Advanced Neutron Diffraction Data Treatment using the FullProf Suite. The registration will be open the next October 10th and we would like to invite you to submit candidatures and to give the maximum diffusion in your institutes.
Those interested can find more information in the ILL web site: http://www.ill.eu/news-events/events/ Many thanks in advance for helping diffusing this information. Best regards, Gabriel Cuello on behalf of the Organising Committee ---------------------------------------------- Gabriel J.

Among the available programs for diffraction data analysis, the FULLPROF SUITE is one of the most widely used packages by the scientific community working in these fields. By creating a regular school on the FULLPROF SUITE, our aim is to contribute directly to the training of the upcoming generation of scientists. These intensive, hands-on, schools are focus on the analysis of diffraction data with the FULLPROF SUITE and concern heterogeneous data coming from powders, single crystals, X-rays and time-of-flight neutron diffraction. FPSchool-2009 will focus on the analysis of magnetic diffraction data: symmetry analysis, magnetic structure determination by simulated annealing, refinement of magnetic data as a function of temperature and refinement of single crystal data. It will take place at the Institut Laue-Langevin and will be open to no more than 25 participants. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Lectures The school will last 5 days: three days dedicated to general applications plus two days dedicated to a specialised topic that will change each year. In 2009 the school will be mainly devoted to magnetic diffraction. Theoretical introductory lectures (max. 1 hour/lecture) will be followed by hands-on practical computing sessions. The afternoon will be mostly dedicated to practical sessions.
