Neutron Science Symposium
Neutron Science Symposium
The 6th Annual Neutron Science Symposium AANSS2007, was held at Lucas Heights, 4-6 December 2007, hosted jointly by the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) and the Australian Neutron Beam Users Group (ANBUG). Some 70 delegates, including 20 graduate students attended, including 3 international speakers (from Taiwan, Japan, and USA). The scientific programme featured 36 oral and 20 poster presentations of a consistently high standard, covering the entire range of neutron scattering science (from protein dynamics to magnetic phase separation) and techniques (from reflectometry to inelastic scattering).
An important part of the symposium was the ANBUG Annual General Meeting, chaired in 2007 by its president Craig Buckley. The general assembly provides its 332 members with an update on the status of the new OPAL research reactor and its instruments and gives the opportunity for direct feedback on their needs and priorities as users to the Bragg Institute.
