The School of Neutron Scattering (SoNS), an international school established as an Association sice 2004, provides a comprehensive training in the fundamental concepts of neutron scattering. It is entitled to Prof. Francesco Paolo Ricci who pioneered with outstanding efforts the development of a neutron scattering community in Italy and the establishment of international collaboration between the Italian Research Council (CNR) and the European International Neutron Facilities in 1985. The school provides a comprehensive training in the fundamental concepts of neutron scattering.
After many editions of the SoNS Schools, teaching and technical material has been collected and in some cases is available from the table below.
