Subject: HSC5 - Hercules Specialised Courses - October 2007

Dear Users,

  The Hercules Specialised Course (HSC5) on "Synchrotron Radiation and 
Neutrons for Cultural Heritage Studies" will take place at the ESRF in 
Grenoble from 7th to 13th October 2007.

  The deadline for registration is: 4 June 2007

  The purpose of this Hercules Specialised Course, which is part of the 
Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses, is to give the participants 
an introduction to the basic principles of SR and neutron techniques 
(imaging, microscopy, diffraction, absorption and fluorescence, IR 
spectroscopy). The school will also provide cross-disciplinary examples 
illustrating the abilities of these techniques in a representative range 
of scientific cases in relation with the European cultural heritage. The 
lectures will cover both theoretical and experimental aspects to the 
attention of a non-expert audience. They will be complemented by tutorials 
(diffraction and XAS data processing), and practicals on a selection of 
artefacts taking place at several ESRF and ILL beamlines. Young scientists 
and newcomers at the interfaces of the disciplines of archaeology, 
archaeological science, art conservation and materials science are 
welcome.

  The attendance will be limited to 20 participants.

You will find all necessary information on the course and on the 
registration procedure on our website:

  If you are not directly concerned by these courses, could you please 
forward this email to PhD students, Post-Doc scientists or junior 
scientists who might be interested.

  Best regards,

  The HSC5 organisers
