In recent days, scientists from all over India have gained enormous experience on the synchrotron techniques by working at various synchrotron facilities supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) through Nanomission, DST-ICTP and CEFIPRA-SOLEIL and at our own Synchrotron facilities, Indus I and Indus II, RRCAT, Indore. The main purpose of this winter school is to impart the knowledge gained by working on various synchrotron experimental techniques like Diffraction, Scattering, Spectroscopy and in-situ physical property measurements to the prospective and present Ph.D. students all over India, through a series of lectures.
