NESY Winterschool 2024

Hosted in the picturesque town of Bad Aussee, the 12^th NESY Winterschool took place from 25^th of February to 1^st of March, 2024, after being on Covid-related hiatus since 2019.  Organized by Dr. Lechner from the Chair of Physics at MUL, it presented a valuable opportunity to expand knowledge about the usage of synchrotron and neutron radiation sources, and to exchange insights with the Austrian user communities.

Keynote lectures by internationally acclaimed scientists like C. Detlefs (ESRF, Grenoble), T. Grüne (Univ. Vienna), T.C. Hansen (ILL, Grenoble), R. Treusch (FLASH, DESY Hamburg) and H.-G. Steinrück (FZ Jülich) were the highlights of the symposium, while tutorials by experienced users from local universities and contributed talks by participants of the school made for a comprehensive program.

In the afternoons, some free time was allocated to leisure activities, which was used by participants for skiing, exploring the town or socializing around the pool billiard table.

Our group attended with M. Zubair Khan and Simon Leitner, who each presented a poster at the session taking place in the evenings.

We want to thank Rainer Lechner and Nadine Aichberger for organizing such a successful winter school, and giving so many young scientists the opportunity to enter deeper into the reciprocal space opened up by scattering methods.
