GNXAS summer intensive course
satellite of the XAFS14 international conference
Advanced multiple-scattering data-analysis
for the X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Directors of the School:
A. Di Cicco, A. Filipponi, C. R. Natoli
PROGRAM of the School
The school will take place in Camerino (Italy), immediately after the end of the XAFS14
international conference. It will be a 3-days 24 hours course whose aim is to explain the
basic theory underlying the GNXAS method and the details of the simulation and data-analysis
approach. The course will include lectures of C. R. Natoli and A. Filipponi about the basic
principles and tutorials about methods and practical examples of data-analysis using
GNXAS by A. Di Cicco, P. D'Angelo, M. Minicucci, A. Trapananti, E. Principi.
Advanced applications using Reverse Monte Carlo techniques (A. Di Cicco, Trapananti)
and the new web-based GNXAS platforms (E. Principi) will be illustrated.
Lectures will be held at the University of Camerino on August, 1-3, 2009.
Participants will leave Camerino on Tuesday morning, August 4th.
The school is limited to 30 participants, priority is given to PhD students and post-docs.
The participation cost will be 150 Euro, a few grants (please ask) may be available.
