The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), and the Sincrotrone "Elettra" Trieste will jointly organise the "School on Synchrotron Radiation", to be held in Trieste from 22 April to 24 May 2002. The Directors for the activity will be as follows:
The activity will be co-sponsored by the Società
Italiana di Luce di Sincrotrone [SILS].
The use of Synchrotron Radiation (SR) for research in science
and technology has grown enormously in the past two decades, so
that more than 5,000 scientists, in Europe alone, now make regular
use of SR in their work. World-wide capacity for research with
SR has grown from almost zero in 1970 to the order of 2 million
beamline hours per year.
In the developing countries, at least seven full-scale storage
rings for SR are in operation or expected to be commissioned within
a few years. In addition, research with SR is truly international,
with many scientists making use of facilities in other countries
to complement work in their home laboratories.
The aim of the School is to cover all aspects of SR, from machine
physics, insertion devices and beamline design, to actual applications
of SR. Emphasis will also be placed on practical training in accelerator
technology, instrumentation, and the application of common experimental
techniques. Recent developments exploit the tunability, the polarization
and the partial coherence of X-rays delivered by the undulators
implemented in the machines of the third generation. Industrial
and environmental applications will also be discussed during this
activity.
Visits to the Trieste synchrotron radiation laboratory, Elettra,
and practical sessions will be organised during the School.
Due to the strong momentum gained by the proposal to transfer
a Synchrotron Radiation Source to the Middle East, the Abdus Salam
International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is making
special funds available to encourage the participation of students
from Armenia, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Islamic Republic of Iran,
Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Palestinian National Authority,
Turkey and Republic of Yemen.
The School will consist of a 5-day working week with 3 morning
lectures per day. The afternoons will be dedicated to exercises
and data handling sessions on personal computers. The lectures
will include: Accelerator Physics and SR Sources, Beamline and
Monochromator Design, Application of SR to Physics, Chemistry,
Materials Science, Surface Science & Engineering, Geophysics,
Biophysics and Environment. Topics will be scheduled as follows:
Students and young scientists from all countries that are members
of the UN, UNESCO or IAEA can attend the School. The main purpose
of the Centre is to help researchers from developing countries
through a programme of training activities within a framework
of international co-operation. However, scientists from developed
countries are also strongly encouraged to apply. This course is
specially meant for strongly motivated graduate students and young
post-doctoral scientists. Logistics limit the number of participants
to 75-80.
Limited funds are available for some applicants from developing
countries, to be selected by the organizers. Every effort should
be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at
least half-fare) from their home country. Such financial support
is available only to those attending the entire activity. There
is no registration fee for attending the School.
Candidates should complete and return the "Request for Participation"
form, to be found at the back of the Bulletin (also obtainable
via e-mail: smr1405 @ictp.trieste.it by typing on the subject
line "get announcement", or via the WWW server which
will be periodically updated: http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~smr1405),
