Invitation to The 14th AONSA Neutron School/The 9th Neutron and Muon School
We are pleased to announce The 14th AONSA Neutron School/The 9th Neutron and Muon School in
2025.
Neutrons and muons are powerful probes in materials research. Notable experimental techniques
include determining the crystal and magnetic structures of materials using neutron elastic scattering
and observing lattice vibrations and magnetic excitations via inelastic scattering. Neutrons can also be
used for imaging measurements utilizing their large penetration depths and for analyzing surfaces and
interfaces through reflectometry. Muons act as highly sensitive local probes capable of detecting
magnetic order and its dynamics in bulk and thin-film samples.
In this school, participants will learn about the characteristics of neutrons and muons and their
experimental methods through lectures by leading researchers active worldwide. Furthermore,
participants will apply the theories to actual experiments through hands-on training using the
instruments in the J-PARC MLF.
We invite applications from graduate students and young researchers from both Japan and abroad
who are interested in materials research using neutrons and muons. We also encourage laboratory
heads who are already using neutron and muon beams (or considering their future use) to utilize this
school as an educational opportunity for students and young researchers and to support their
participation.
