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.

This will be a training course on how to get the most out of the Horace, SpinW and Euphonic software packages. Horace is a widely used suite of Matlab programs for the visualisation and analysis of large datasets from time-of-flight neutron inelastic scattering spectrometers. SpinW is a Matlab library that can plot and numerically simulate magnetic structures and excitations of a given spin Hamiltonian using classical Monte Carlo simulation and linear spin wave theory. Euphonic is a Python package to calculate phonon bandstructures and inelastic neutron scattering intensities from force constant matrices.

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.

The ORNL Neutron Sciences Directorate is organizing a workshop, Neutrons in Structural Biology – Challenges & Opportunities, to be held June 10-12, 2024 at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel, Arlington, VA. The goal of the workshop is to garner support for the construction of the macromolecular neutron diffraction beamline EWALD at ORNL’s Second Target Station. EWALD will be capable of performing biological neutron crystallography on radically smaller crystals to help meet neutron beamtime demand for challenging biological systems.

Institute of Physics (IOP)

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.

Italian Society of Neutron Scattering

The physical bases of neutron sources and of neutron scattering techniques for the study of condensed matter will be presented and discussed, with examples and applications in various scientific fields. Specific attention will be paid to recent developments and to those in progress and expected for the current decade. The scientific potentialities of the experimental methods will be discussed for instruments accessible both at reactor-based facilities and at spallation sources, also in view of the European Spallation Sources ESS project (the future European Neutron scattering facility).

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.

Professor John White was a key figure in the international scientific community for more than five decades. Over the course of a long and distinguished career, through a combination of advances in experimentation and choice of paradigm examples, his work demonstrated how neutron scattering data could be analysed to provide precise details of molecular structure and dynamics for a wide variety of chemical systems. John sadly passed away in August 2023. To celebrate and commemorate his lasting contributions, a symposium is being organised in his honour. We welcome contributions from John’s colleagues, collaborators and enthusiasts in what will be a celebration of a life well lived.

Open Reflectometry Standards Organisation (ORSO)

The 6th Open Reflectometry Standards Organisation ORSO annual meeting will take place on the 19th July at ILL/ESRF campus as a satellite to the SXNS17 Conference. Physical attendance will require registration at SXNS, but we will additionally run some hybrid sessions for remote participants.

Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS)

This year's summer school is devoted to methods and applications of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron reflectometry (NR) techniques. The school is targeted at those with little or no previous experience with neutron scattering methods. The combination of introductory lectures and training in scattering techniques will provide participants with a unique opportunity to become familiar with neutron scattering methods and their application to current research topics.

The 12th edition of the Neutron Wavelength-Dependent Imaging Workshop (NEUWAVE-12) is set to take place from September 1st to September 4th, 2024, in Lund, Sweden. The NEUWAVE workshops gather prominent researchers worldwide in the field of energy-resolved neutron imaging, a cutting-edge methodology leveraging the energy/wavelength dependency of neutron transmission for enhanced quantitativity. NEUWAVE strives to promote collaboration and advance energy-resolved neutron imaging by facilitating the exchange of information and experiences in an intimate workshop setting. Key topics of the NEUWAVE workshop encompass the current status of neutron imaging instruments, the evolution of imaging methods (such as Bragg-edge imaging, resonance absorption imaging, and imaging utilizing neutron interference effects or polarized neutrons), the advancement of detectors and instrumentation, and applications of energy-resolved techniques.

The MATRAC 2 School will provide a systematic overview of the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation to the structural analysis of engineering materials and will focus on neutron scattering and imaging experiments. Students and young scientists from research and industry from all over Europe interested in this field are welcome to participate.

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.
