Conferences and Meetings on Neutron Scattering

The Executive Committees for the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) User Group and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) User Group are pleased to announce the 2021 Joint Nanoscience and Neutron Scattering User Meeting to be held online from August 9-12, 2021, with workshops held during the weeks of August 2 and August 16. The User Meeting will highlight the research achievements and interests of CNMS, SNS, and HFIR users, staff, and the broader nanoscience and neutron scattering communities. Registration is available at no cost, but is required by June 30 in order to receive links to the meeting.

SXNS16, the 16th International Conference on Surface X-ray and Neutron Scattering, has been postponed again. The conference will now take place 11th � 14th January 2022 in Lund, Sweden. For up-to-date information regarding the expected programme and important dates please see the website which will be updated as plans are confirmed. The scientific programme for SXNS16 remains the same and will emphasize novel techniques for surface x-ray and neutron scattering including instrumentation and source development. Topics will include in-situ and in-operando surface studies, nanostructured surfaces and interfaces, surface and interfaces in soft matter, biological interfaces, emergent interfacial materials, and dynamics of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures.

This workshop in Venice aims to bring together new Users of McPhase with experienced Scientists working in the field. The small number of participants allows to focus on individual research topics and discuss basic use and advanced simulation techniques.

NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR)

The Polarized Neutron School will provide a comprehensive introduction to polarized neutrons, techniques and scientific applications. Staff will give a series of lectures focused on neutron scattering techniques and applications for a variety of scientific fields. These lectures will cover small-angle scattering, reflectometry, diffraction/inelastic scattering, and instrumentation. The lectures will be followed by hands-on experiments in small groups and the relevant data reduction process. The school will be held at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This will provide a useful background before the PNCMI conference. The school is intended for master/doctoral students and young postdoctoral scientists familiar with scattering techniques.
