Winter school 2023

6-10 February 2023 // Albanova, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden

Winter school / workshop "Methods and processes of modern high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy"

coverDo you want to learn the basics of modern X-ray spectroscopic techniques and even dive deeper into more advanced theoretical aspects of these methods? That is what you can achieve in this five-days winter school / workshop covering discussion of various methods and process of modern high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy also including the latest developments in this field. These topics will be covered by a PhD lecture course "Basic of X-ray physics and spectroscopy" during the morning sessions followed by advanced lectures in the afternoon. We invite for participation PhD students, postdocs, young and experienced researchers (experimental or theoretical background) who are interested to go deeper in the field or to enter this dynamic field from a scratch! Registration is free of charge and allows on-site and on-line participation.

Practical information for PhD students

  • Prerequisites: Basic knowledge and courses in Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Chemistry and Molecular Modeling are helpful, as well as some basic experience with computer simulations

  • Credit points:

    • This winter school involves approximately 50 study hours and we recommend that 2.0 ECTS credits are awarded for students that pass the course

    • PhD students attending on-site all lectures and delivering all recommended assignment are eligible to receive a certificate of participation and recommended credits

    • Deadline for the assignments submission is one week after the winter school, February 17th, 2023

  • Intended learning outcomes. After a successful course completion, you will be able to:

    • explain the general principles of different kinds of X-ray spectroscopy

    • apply both time-dependent and -independent approaches in spectroscopic analysis

    • apply a wave packet-based approach for the time dependent solution of the Schrödinger equation for free propagation and harmonic potential

    • derive the Fermi-Golden rule and the rates of absorption, photoionization, emission and Auger processes

    • extract structural information from the X-ray ionization and absorption spectroscopy

    • build a theoretical model for resonant X-ray Raman and Auger scattering that takes into account both electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom

  • Examiner: Prof. F. Gelmukhanov
