We would like to announce a three-day course for PhD students and Post-Docs on
**“Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization” **
The course will start at 1pm on Wednesday November the 14th and will end at 5pm on Friday 16th, and will be held at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, at the Laboratory of Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance (LRMB).
The course is supported by the COST network ‘EuroHyperPol’. Travel stipends will be awarded on a competitive base by an international committee. Students and Post-Docs are invited to describe their interest by email, and forward a letter of support from their supervisors.

* Objectives
Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) provides a way to enhance NMR signals in liquids by more than 4 orders of magnitude. We present the current state-of-the-art and recent advances of this technique.
* Content
Lectures and seminars: 11 Hours
Experimental demonstrations with hands-on participation: 7 Hours
Day 1: Lectures, 1 pm - 5 pm: Theoretical aspects of DNP
- Introduction to DNP-enhanced NMR
- Principles of Dissolution-DNP
- Low temperature DNP Mechanisms
- Applications to imaging and chemistry
Day 2: Lectures, 9 am - 12 am: Experimental aspects of DNP
- Hardware for DNP
- Hardware for Dissolution
Demonstrations, 1 pm - 5 pm
- Sample Preparation
- Preparation of a dissolution DNP experiment
Day 3: Demonstrations, 9 am - 12 am: Practical DNP at the Laboratory of Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance (LRMB)
- Dissolution DNP experiments
Seminars, 1 pm - 5 pm
- All students are expected to give a short presentation on applications of DNP that they wish to implement to enhance their own research subjects
*Required prior knowledge
