* 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._
