Klaus-Dieter Liss was awarded one of two ANSTO Senior Research Fellowships. The focus of his fellowship will be to develop neutron and synchrotron scattering techniques as tools for investigating the effects of thermal and mechanical processes on the microstructure of alloys. Such processes are instrumental in properties of metal components both during production and during their use in extreme environments such as nuclear reactors and high-temperature boilers.

In January, the Bragg Institute welcomed the newcomers:

Anne Rich helps with the operation of our x-ray reflectometer and SAXS (small angle x-ray spectrometer) instrument.

Ron Nelson strengthens our data-acquisition, detector and data-analysis team.
