* Objectives

Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (D-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 most recent advances of this technique, and we propose experimental demonstrations with hands-on participation. 

* Content

Lectures and seminars: 11 Hours

Hands-on: 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

- Cross Polarization techniques

- Applications to imaging and chemistry

Day 2: Lectures, 9 am - 12 am: Experimental aspects of DNP

- Hardware for DNP

- Hardware for Cross Polarization 

- Hardware for Dissolution

Experiments, 1 pm - 5 pm

- Sample Preparation

- Preparation of a dissolution DNP experiment

Day 3: Experiments, 9 am - 12 am: Practical DNP at the Laboratory of Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance (LRMB)

- Low temperature DNP

- Cross Polarization with DNP 

- Dissolution DNP

Seminars, 1 pm - 5 pm

- All participants are invited to give a short presentation, possibly on DNP and/or related to their own research subjects.
