The fifth Berkeley-Stanford summer school will provide basic lectures on the synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications. Visits to both the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley will be included, with opportunities to interact with the professional staff and graduate students at both facilities.
The summer school will be limited to approximately 40 graduate students, with a preference for those pursuing doctoral research in the physical sciences in which synchrotron radiation is expected to play a significant role.
The summer school is jointly sponsored by the University of California, Berkeley; Stanford University; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. Lectures will be presented by professors and scientists from these four organizations and their user communities. The summer school will be housed on the UC Berkeley campus. Co-chairs of the summer school are David Attwood (attwood@berkeley.edu) and Anders Nilsson (nilsson@ssrl.slac.stanford.edu).
Prospective summer school participants need to submit an application in order to be considered for participation in the 2006 Berkeley-Stanford Summer School on Synchrotron Radiation. Applications should include a brief academic record, a statement describing the intended research area and how a knowledge of synchrotron radiation would enhance those studies, a list of publications (if any), and information on how to reach the applicant by e-mail and phone through the period extending to the time of the summer school.
COURSE DETAILS
Course objectives
This course teaches you the fundamentals of EUV, soft x-ray, and x-ray synchrotron radiation, and provides detailed examples of how these technologies are used in research. You gain first-hand exposure to state-of-the-art facilities.
Who should attend
This course is intended for graduate students pursuing doctoral research in the physical sciences in which synchrotron radiation is expected to play a significant role.

What is the Berkeley-Stanford Summer School on Synchrotron Radiation?
A weeklong residential program providing a comprehensive overview of the synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications. Visits to both the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) are included, with opportunities to interact with the professional staff at both facilities.
Who are the sponsors?
The University of California, Berkeley; Stanford University; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory; and the Department of Business and Technology, UC Berkeley Extension.
Who are the faculty?
Lectures are presented by professors and scientists from the sponsoring organizations and affiliated user communities.
A list of invited speakers will be posted in late April 2006.
David Attwood, Ph.D., is a lead lecturer and co-coordinator of this program. He is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and a member of LBL’s Center for X-Ray Optics. His expertise is in the areas of soft x-ray, extreme ultraviolet radiation, optics, coherence, and applications to microscopy and lithography.
Anders Nilsson, Ph.D., is a lead lecturer and co-coordinator of this program. He is a professor at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Stanford University, and he is currently a professor of physics at Stockholm University in Sweden. His expertise is in the areas of photoelectron, x-ray absorption, and emission spectroscopies, and chemical physics on surfaces and aqueous solutions.
