(LANL-LANSCE)NSF Award No. DMR-0444225
- The 2nd LANSCE Winter School on Neutron
Scattering was held at Los Alamos Neutron Science
Scattering Center (LANSCE) from March 3- 11,
2005. The focus of this school was on Structural
Applications of Neutron Scattering. - Of the more than 60 applicants, 30 students were
selected to spend 9 intensive days in Los Alamos.
The students came from 18 U.S. states and 2
overseas institutions. Of the participants, 7
were female and 3 hispanic. This grant paid for
travel and lodging of the participants. - The school consisted of lectures from world
experts and hands-on experiments on topics of
engineering materials, modeling theory, and
neutron diffraction.

Hands-on experiments, analysis and modeling of
neutron scattering data
As part of the school, students were provided
with hands-on opportunities to learn how to
perform neutron experiments and how to analyze
the data. The students performed 4 projects
(involving the NPDF, SMARTS, HIPPO and LQD
spectrometers) to learn about crystallographic
texture, residual-strains, short-range
correlations, and microstructure. The analysis
of the experimental data included Rietveld
refinement of neutron-diffraction data,
Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent Modeling (VPSCM),
and Finite-Element Modeling (FEM).
Students at the 2nd LANSCE Winter School on
Neutron Scattering engaged in analyzing results
from a residual stress experiment on SMARTS
with help from instrument scientist Bjorn
Clausen.
