Conferences  >  Physics  >  Neutron Scattering

The quadrennial Asia-Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering plays a complementary role in the tripolar regional neutron conferences, along with the ACNS (American Conference on Neutron Scattering, organized by NSSA) and the ECNS (European Conference Neutron Scattering, organized by ENSA). These conferences cover all scientific areas of neutron scattering including fundamental physics, material science, magnetism, chemistry, disordered systems, biology, soft matter, surface/interface science and instrumentation.

The scope of this 1 day meeting is to discuss present and future trends in UK neutron scattering - both in terms of the science base and the central facility provision. We aim to cover key areas of, neutron diffraction, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, molecular spectroscopy, QENS and coherent inelastic scattering. We aim to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of/to current and future neutron science based in the UK and in UK funded facilities. We will do this by inviting key early career investigators based in the UK to present their perspectives on neutron science and provision, and indicating future priorities. We also aim to engage external perspectives, inviting non-neutron scientists from key research communities. It is our hope that the directors of the three UK funded facilities will attend, and they will be invited at an early stage.

Paul Scherrer institute is hosting the 2nd French-Swiss Meeting SANS for Soft Matter, which will take place on the 24th and 25th of January 2024 at the PSI Auditorium building. The workshop aims to bring together researchers using SANS in the fields of Soft Matter and Biophysics (and open to other fields as well), especially from the French and Swiss User Communities. The workshop is also motivated by the move of SANS-LLB from the Laboratoire Léon-Brillouin to SINQ at PSI. SANS-LLB will become part of the user program in 2024. The workshop focuses on recent and ongoing work in the fields of polymers, colloids, surfactants, gels, foams, and proteins and on applications of soft matter in food science, pharma, energy applications and other fields.

From April 8 to 10, 2024 the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) located in Garching near Munich will host the Machine Learning Conference for X-Ray and Neutron-Based Experiments. The first two days (April 8/9) will take place at the Community Center (Bürgerhaus) Garching with all participants. The third day (April 10) offers optional hands-on workshops and reactor tours at the site of research neutron source FRM II for all interested participants.

International Society for Neutron Radiography (ISNR)

The 12th World Conference on Neutron Radiography (WCNR-12) is an international forum that brings together researchers, engineers, industry practitioners and university students to promote, discuss and disseminate a wide range of topics in neutron imaging. This weeklong conference focuses on the latest methods, instrumentation and facilities, improvements in data processing and interpretation, and new applications of neutron imaging.

Storage and effective usage of renewable energy will be one of the major challenges our society will face in 21th century. This century will witness a major transformation in how energy is acquired, stored, and utilized globally. Neutron scattering contributes significantly to the advancement of energy storage technologies by providing detailed insights into the structural and dynamic properties of materials. This information is instrumental in designing and improving materials for more efficient, durable, and sustainable energy storage solutions.

QENS focusses on the discussion and exchange of scientific ideas related to the investigation of atomic and molecular motions, while WINS deals with instrumental aspects of quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques. Though originally QENS and WINS were held independent of each other, the added value of their joint celebration was acknowledged in 2012, and continues today, since it enhances their scope and impact on the scientific community related with the quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques.

Metrology and Instrumentation,    Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Technology

This WE-Heraeus seminar focuses on the technique of magnetic small-angle neutron scattering(SANS) and its extension towards a unified description of diffuse scattering from the atomic to the mesoscale.

The 12th American Conference on Neutron Scattering (ACNS 2024) will provide essential information on the breadth and depth of current neutron-related research worldwide. Hosted by the Neutron Scattering Society of America, the conference will feature a combination of invited and contributed talks, poster sessions and tutorials.

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.
