(some might receive this message via multiple lists -- apologies for this 
cross-posting, it will happen at most once a year)

On 10 February 2020, a new edition of http://www.hyperfinecourse.org will 
start. It is a free open online course about the physics of hyperfine 
interactions and experimental methods based thereupon. You can take this 
course self-paced at any time of the year, or - if you start on Feb 10 or 
before - you can take it in sync with students at Ghent University. In the 
latter case, you can ask questions and get feedback just as these students do.

The course is scheduled for 12 weeks, and requires about 5 hours of work per 
week. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding, less on mathematical 
derivations. The level is advanced bachelor or (early) master. A general 
science background at bachelor level is the expected entry level.

This is the list of topics covered:

the nucleus
the physics framework (classical/quantum)
electric monopole shift
magnetic hyperfine interaction
electric quadrupole interaction
+++
laser spectroscopy
Mössbauer spectroscopy
synchrotron radiation methods
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, a.k.a. MRI)
nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR)
ENDOR (Electron Nuclear DOuble Resonance)
electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)
low-temperature nuclear orientation (LTNO)
NMR on oriented nuclei (NMR/ON)
perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy (PAC)

Students get every week a set of videos, with associated tasks. Reports are 
submitted 24 hours before the weekly feedback webinar. During this weekly 
webinar, common problems encountered in the tasks are discussed, and 
questions raised by students during the past week are addressed. The webinars 
are livestreamed as well as recorded.

If you want to offer this course as a formal course to students at your 
place, please get in touch and we'll see how this can be organized.

Feel free to have a look at http://www.hyperfinecourse.org. A short 
registration is required (temporarily or permanent, as you wish), after which 
you have access to all material.

You receive this one-time email because you are known to be interested in 
hyperfine interactions, or because you have been previously registered as a 
student in this course.

Yours sincerely,
