CECAM/ALC/CCP9 Spectroscopy Masterclass

 

The school will teach the calculation of different spectroscopies including core (such as XAS, XMCD), valence band (ARPES) and magnetic excitations (as probed by INS) using first-principles electronic structure codes: SPR-KKR, MS-SPEC and Questaal.

Lectures will provide an introduction to the theory as well as a high-level overview of the current state of the art in spectroscopy modelling. Afternoons will be dedicated to practical, hands-on teaching sessions designed for newcomers to electronic structure theory. The aim of the practical sessions is to enable experimentalists to carry out calculations independently.

The final afternoon is dedicated to open discussion on how best to provide theory support at the large scale facilities.

The event is funded as a CECAM Flagship School, with sponsorship from the Ada Lovelace Centre and the UK’s CCP9 network. There is a registration fee of £100 which covers accommodation. Lunch and the conference dinner are provided.

Lectures and the panel discussion will be held in the Pickavance lecture theatre (R22) and local STFC staff or visitors are welcome to attend the lectures without registration.

 

Registered participants will be able to choose from three practical sessions on a given afternoon to tailor the school to their own interests.  Participants will need to bring their own computer & be able to connect to eduroam for the practical sessions; teaching resources will be available via the STFC cloud.

 

Places are limited to ~40 participants.

There is a £100 registration fee for those successful applicants who need accomodation.   You will be contacted for payment of the fee after the registration deadline.
