Informal “get to know each other” event
19:00 - 21:00Bernard Pub Bruselská, Prague
8 Bavarian and 8 Czech advanced Master/early PhD students
Neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. Crystal growth, magneto-optical ellipsometry, Raman scattering. Open data.
The school is free of charge for students from Prague and Munich (travel expenses included) *.
Each participant needs to present their own research in a 5 minute presentation.
There will be a best student presentation prize.
The scope of this mini-school is to bring the world of large scale facilities closer to advanced Master/early PhD students, to broaden their scientific horizons and to win them as future users.
The first part of the mini-school will take place at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum in Munich, where a series of lectures on neutron scattering techniques will be held. The second part of the mini-school will take place in Prague at the MGML research infrastructure at the Charles University and the ELI beamlines research center. The mini-school will be closed with sessions dedicated to data treatment and publishing, following F.A.I.R. principles and ways of sharing scientific data. In addition, the students will get an opportunity to present their own projects during a short presentation. Talks will be evaluated and the best talk will win a small prize.

In Prague we will start with talks on magneto optics and sample growth before visiting the MGML facilities.
MGML Karlov campus, Prague, CZ
Measuring specific heat and its evaluation
13:00 - 17:00MGML Troja campus, Prague, CZ
At the ELI Beamlines research center we will first listen to lectures on different laser-based techniques and then there will be a tour of the laboratories.
ELI Beamlines, Dolní Břežany, CZ
We will dive into the topic of open science and open data with lectures about:
ELI Beamlines, Dolní Břežany, CZ
The training reactor VR-1 is a lightwater reactor focused mainly at education of students as well as specialists from the nuclear field. The reactor staff will introduce the basics of nuclear reactor technology and provide participants with a tour on the facility.
09:00 - 11:00MGML Troja campus, Prague, CZ
Each student will present their own research in a short presentation (5 minutes strict). The best presentation will win a small prize!

The lectures will give a broad overview on the different neutron scattering techniques available at the MLZ:
MLZ, Garching, DE
Hands on session with virtual twins of the FRMII Tutor: C. Franz
14:00 - 17:00MLZ, Garching, DE
Hands on session with virtual twins of the FRMII Tutor: C. Franz
9:00 - 12:00MLZ, Garching, DE
We will see the reactor pool and learn how neutrons are produced. The tour will continue in the neutron guidehall and experimental hall, where 26 state-of-the-art instruments are operated.
14:00 - 17:00MLZ, Garching, DE
The MLZ opens up the scientific use of the research neutron source FRM II. Scientists from all around the world can apply for measurement time at 26 state-of-the-art neutron scattering instruments. More than 1000 scientists annually use the FRM II’s neutrons for their experiments and investigations.
The MGML offers for external users open access to an instrument suite dedicated to measuring the physical properties of materials in a wide range of temperatures, magnetic and electrical fields, and hydrostatic and uniaxial pressures.
With ultra-high peak powers and focused intensities ELI offers unique sources of radiation and particle beams to its users. These beamlines enable groundbreaking research not only in the fields of physics and material science, but also in biomedical research and laboratory astrophysics.
The training reactor VR-1 is a lightwater reactor focused mainly at education and training of students as well as specialists from the nuclear field. During past decades it became one of the pillars of nuclear education in the Czech Republic. Thanks to the reactor variable design it can be used for various theoretical and experimental tasks.
We proudly acknowledge the Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency. They provided funds for this workshop via their "Bayerisch-tschechische Sommer-/Winterschulen 2024" funding programme, grant number BTHA-SW-2024-6.
The Technical University of Munich is the recipient of the subsidy and the organizer of the mini-school.
Charles University hosts the Czech part of the mini-school and sponsors the mini-school dinner.
The school is free of charge for all participants. The hotels (in Prague for the students from Munich and in Garching for the students from Prague) will be booked and payed by us in advance. Students from neither Prague nor Munich will have to pay for their accommodations in one of the cities themselves.
Such generous funding is only possible because of Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency. They provided funds for this workshop via their "Bayerisch-tschechische Sommer-/Winterschulen 2024" funding programme, grant number BTHA-SW-2024-6.
