ANSTO Neutron Reflectometry School

Dear colleagues,
The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is holding a school on Neutron Reflectometry on 4-5 November 2025.

The first day will consist of lectures (online and in-person) outlining the theoretical background to the technique, its application in a wide range of scientific areas, instrumentation, sample environments, and what happens during an experiment.

The second day is limited to in-person attendees. We’ll have a tour of the surface characterisation instrumentation at ACNS, followed by two practical sessions. The first practical will show how a real reflectometry measurement is done. The second practical will be a hands-on introduction to how reflectometry data is analysed, with participants analysing real scientific datasets.

The school should give participants both knowledge and confidence to start or further develop experiments using the reflectometry technique.

Expressions of interest for in-person attendance close on 24th July, with notification of EOI acceptance by mid-August. Online attendance is open to all.
