Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Virtual Reflectivity Training School, which will be held via Zoom November 16th – 25th 2021. The course is planned to run on four days (Tuesdays and Thursdays), from approximately 09:00 to 16:00 GMT each day, divided into two sessions. Each session will consist of a lecture, followed by demonstrations and hand-on guided practicals. The course is free of charge.
This training school will have a varied content suitable for novices and more experienced users (not limited to PhD students):

• principles of reflectometry, including polarised neutron reflectometry

• working principles of time-of-flight reflectometers (including a virtual guided tour)

• data reduction principles

• reflectivity fitting theory (model building approaches, fitting strategies etc)

• error analysis techniques for reflectivity data

• case studies for different science areas and using different fitting software

• live interactive demonstrations and exercises using online resources, such as IDAaaS and Google Colab

• live help and advice for users, who have already collected reflectivity data
