COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-theart simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Pulsed Neutron. It covers the basic properties of neutrons and the applications of neutron science; the principles of pulsed neutron sources, neutron production mechanisms and neutron scattering basics; the pulsed neutron facilities and key concepts in neutron transport; the detectors for pulsed neutrons covering gas-based detectors, scintillation detectors and solidstate detectors; the time-of-flight measurement techniques; and the types of neutron moderators, role in shaping neutron energy spectra and moderator design considerations. During this interactive course, participants will learn the beamline components, neutron energy spectrum analysis and experimental setup and calibration; the material science applications, nuclear applications, biological and medical applications and industrial applications; the ancient artifacts, material composition and non-invasive analysis techniques; the advanced neutron scattering techniques and data analysis in pulsed neutron studies; the neutron reflectometry, neutron activation analysis (NAA) and emerging trends in pulsed neutron science; setting-up basic neutron scattering experiment; the hands-on time-of-flight analysis and sample preparation techniques; and analyzing collected data.
