ANSTO's research capabilities, led by the OPAL nuclear research reactor and associated instruments provide access to users investigating areas as diverse as materials, life sciences, climate change and mining/engineering.
Data Analysis
Data Analysis
Data analysis is supported through user training which is provided at the AINSE Neutron Scattering Winter School (http://www.ainse.edu.au/events2/winter_schools).
Data Correction and Reduction
Data correction and reduction is provided by the Kowari instrument scientists, but if desired users are able to perform this task with the following tools:
The Bragg Institute has developed GumTree which can be downloaded from http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GUMTREE/Downloads.
This software package provides a variety of functionality including visualizing, correcting and reducing experiment data.
For support, contact the Kowari instrument scientists: kowari@ansto.gov.au
Data Access
The Bragg Institute promotes access to data collected during scientific experiments. See http://www.ansto.gov.au/research/bragg_institute/users/data_archiving
Access to data is available at ANSTO during the 3 year embargo period via the following options:
- Login to https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au where you can search through your data and download as required.
- Access a secure copy at scp.nbi.ansto.gov.au using a client such as FileZilla (see http://filezilla-project.org/download.php) or winSCP (see http://winscp.net/eng/download.php).
If you are unable to login, contact the Bragg Institute User Office Bragg-UserOffice@ansto.gov.au
It is ANSTO policy that after a 3 year embargo period, data becomes publicly accessible. This can be viewed as "Public Experiments" at https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au. Metadata relating to the experimental data is copied to Research Data Australia http://researchdata.ands.org.au. In encouraging this practice ANSTO has helped many researchers forge new collaborations.
