DESCRIPTION:LINXS\, on behalf of SwedNess\, will be hosting a course on Sm
 all Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). The course is aimed at doctoral stude
 nts who have completed a general neutron scattering course or who have exp
 erience with small angle x-ray or neutron scattering. The course will cove
 r an introduction to SANS theory\, instrumentation and methods\, applicati
 ons\, practicalities of experiments\, and data analysis. The lectures will
  be given by researchers and staff from LU and ESS.\n\nEnglish course titl

 n\nMotivation letter\nAfter the deadline for registration\, the organizing
  group will decide which applicants are accepted for the school. The selec
 tion will be based on the applicants’ letter of motivation (maximum half
  an A4) that must be included in the registration. The motivation letter s
 hould declare the applicants’ research focus and what they want and expe
 ct to gain from this PhD school.\n\nDescription\n\nThis course will introd
 uce Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) theory and practice\, including 
 how to analyse SANS data. It is aimed at students who have completed previ
 ous general neutron scattering courses\, or who have some experience of Sm
 all Angle Scattering with x-rays or neutrons.\n\nLearning Outcomes / Conte
