[Ifeffit] APS/IIT XAFS Summer School July 8 - 12, 2013

[Robert Gordon]

Notice attached.

"This XAFS summer school is a continuation of the week-long summer
school offered
annually at the Advanced Photon Source, and again the venue will be at
IIT in Chicago. Course
material will cover fundamental and practical aspects of X-ray
Absorption Fine Structure
Spectroscopy: sample preparation, experiment, theory, data analysis.

One day of hands-on experiments will be carried out by participants at
several APS beamlines,
followed by a guided data analysis laboratory using Athena/iFEFFIT and
other programs. Computers
will be available for those participants attending without their own
laptops. The target audience
is graduate students, postdocs, and other scientists who are new to XAFS
and want to use it in
their own research. Space is available for up to 40 students.

Instructors include: Dr. Steve Heald (ANL), Dr. Matt Newville
(UChicago), Prof. Bruce Bunker (U
Notre Dame), Prof. Carlo Segre (IIT), Prof. Grant Bunker (IIT), and a
number of other experienced
XAFS researchers also will participate.

The cost of the course is $500 USD, which covers most meals. Students
will be responsible for their
own housing (available on and off IIT campus) and travel to/from their
home institutions. IIT is
readily accessible by car, cab, and CTA train from O’Hare and Midway
airports. Free time will be
available most evenings for participants to visit Chicago attractions
such as Grant Park, the Loop,
Millennium Park, Lake Michigan; music, architecture, art, theater;
Chinatown, White Sox, Field
Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and Navy Pier, restaurants,
and pubs.
