Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) with meV energy resolution has become a powerful spectroscopic tool in the study of phonon dispersion in condensed matter. The most important aspects distinguishing IXS from the well-established coherent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) techniques are the absence of kinematic limitations and the possibility to study very small sample quantities (down to 10-5 mm3). This has opened up new possibilities in research fields ranging from biology to geophysics. The lectures will discuss the theoretical background with special emphasis on the comparison between INS and IXS, the beam line layout and examples illustrating the present capabilities of the IXS technique.
