Workshop on 'Pushing Small-Angle Neutron Scattering at OPAL to Smaller Q', 15-16 Nov. 2007
The purpose of the workshop is to demonstrate the different very small-angle neutron scattering U/V/SE-SANS techniques to Australian industry, government and universities, and to make a start on defining specifications for a new instrument at the OPAL reactor.
In particular, we will discuss the science case, the capabilities of current instruments employing different techniques, instrumental features demanded by users as well as options for improvement. The workshop will be concluded by a brainstorming session where we would like to draft a report on the scientific and technical requirements for the next OPAL instrument. For this we seek for comments, suggestions, ideas etc. of all workshop attendees. Please register before 20 October 2007 on the web under:

Polarisation workshop before end 2007
An international workshop on Polarisation will be held at the end of November or in December 2007, at the Bragg Institute, ANSTO. Dates are currently being fixed. Details will be available on our web site shortly, or contact Frank Klose, frank.klose@ansto.gov.au, for more information.

ANSTO-AINSE Neutron School on Diffraction in collaboration with IAEA, 29 Nov - 3 Dec 2007 
This school will provide training for newcomers to neutron scattering with a focus on diffraction: its use and its applications. We will have lectures and also practical sessions with hands-on experiments and data analysis.
The school is aimed at PhD students and post docs - novice users. We received 55 applications, but due to logistical reasons the school is limited to 30 people. In the selection process, preference was given to PhD students. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) supports the school and sponsors 2 students (from India and China). The next school is planned for mid-2008.
For a preliminary programme of this year?s school and more details please see: http://www.ansto.gov.au/bragg/science/conferences_and_workshops/neutron_school.html.

Neutron Science Symposium, 4-6 Dec 2007
The 6th ANBUG/AINSE symposium will be held directly after the neutron school. Deadline for abstracts and registration is 23 October 2007. For further details please look under http://www.ansto.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/20285/AANSS2007_web_info.pdf.
