The school will focus in the techniques more popular among our Brockhouse beamline users: X-Ray Diffraction / Rietveld Refinement, Pair Distribution Function and Small Angle X-ray Scattering. We will have lectures, hands on data analysis sessions and experiments at the CLS beamlines. Please, bring a laptop for the data analysis sessions.

During the last afternoon, we will present an overview of advanced hard X-ray characterization techniques and their applications.
