Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS)

The German Conference on Neutron Scattering 2024 will take place in Aachen on 16th - 18th September 2024 (lunch-to-lunch) and offers a forum for the presentation and fruitful discussion of recent results and advances in the field of neutron scattering and material research using neutrons. The DN2024 is organized on behalf of the German Committee for Research with Neutrons (KFN) by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH. Covering the breadth of neutron science from magnetism, via soft matter to proteins, microsymposia will further focus on the current topics “energy materials“ and “materials characterization”, as well as “high brilliance compact accelerator neutron sources”. Recent instrumental developments are additionally covered.

Neutron science of today and tomorrow – neutron sources and their impact on material research

The conference is organized by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), Forschungszentrum Jülich.

The JCNS Workshop 2024 will be held in Tutzing, Germany on October 8th to 11th, 2024 and it will bring together experts in neutron scattering and other scattering techniques to discuss present status, ongoing developments as well as future perspectives in the field of functional interfaces.

Interfaces play an important role in a variety of applications, both in soft matter, quantum materials as well as in the food industry and energy storage devices. In particular, functional interfaces are a cross-cutting area of research with neutrons and other scattering techniques in science and industry and they offer a unique opportunity to create a networking event with an interdisciplinary scientific program at the cutting edge of science and technology.

Neutrons are a unique probe to study the structure and dynamics of matter. The advent of High Currenct Accelerator-driven Neutron Surces (HiCANS) will make access to neutrons easier than today’s sources. With HiCANS, large universities and research centres will be able to host their own neutron sources, gaining independence from large facilities using nuclear reactors or spallation sources.

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) are pleased to announce the ANSTO – HZB Neutron Training Course 2024.

The aim of the training course is to provide a broad overview of neutron scattering theory and applications to demonstrate the utility of the technique to a wide range of sciences.

To continue to spread the interest in polarized-neutron diffraction amongst the physics, chemistry, material science and biology scientific communities, a three-day International Workshop on Single-Crystal Diffraction with Polarized Neutrons will be held at the ILL in Grenoble on 11th-13th December 2024. The workshop will focus on the application of half-polarized and polarization-analysis neutron methods to fundamental research and to functional research in areas with a strong societal impact, probing length scales from the atomic to mesoscopic in crystalline solids with a focus on multiferroic, topological, superconducting and other smart materials. The workshop aims to complement the broader scope offered by the biennial PNCMI, and will be run as a satellite to the ILL/ESS User Meeting, also in Grenoble.

The International Conference on Neutron Scattering (ICNS) 2025 is a meeting and discussion place for everyone that uses neutrons as a tool for scientific research and development. The scientific program will contain the relevant disciplines, as well as neutron facilities, instrumentation and software. The conference will consist of a mixture of plenary sessions, parallel sessions, poster sessions, and sponsor presentations. Furthermore, a number of prizes will be awarded.
