get_in_volved_logo_with_image187x120Now is the time to get involved in defining the scientific possibilities for the next generation neutron source ESS.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be built in Southern Scandinavia as an intergovernmental project with seventeen European countries as partners. The facility will provide the scientific community with new possibilities for research using neutrons. Together with the adjacent Max IV Synchrotron laboratory it will become a world leading centre for materials research.

ESS is calling for your input and knowledge. On these pages you will find updated articles on the possibilities that the ESS project can provide as well as facts, scientific articles and links to interesting reading.

The Get Involved-section is always "under construction" so make it a habit to log in and read the news.

Get Involved in the making of the next generation research facility.
 
Workshop on off-specular neutron scattering PDF

Next generation instrumentation for the investigation of three-dimensional structures in thin films

An event sponsored by the ESS

Brussels 9-10 January 2012

The past few years have seen an increase in studies where the non-invasive investigation of lateral structures is becoming critical, in particular for buried interfaces. These lateral structures are critical in many fields, from magnetic multilayers, to lipid bilayers, to the self-assembly of complex composites, amongst others.

The meeting brings together experts on specular and off-specular scattering community to identify the remaining challenges to be overcome.

Accepted speakers: F. Cousin (LLB), J. Daillant (Paris),  G. Fragneto (ILL), A. Higgins (Swansea), B. Klosgen (Odense), S. Langridge (ISIS), A. Rennie (Uppsala), E. Schneck (Munich), J. de Silva (Dublin), R. Steitz (HMI), K. Temst (Leuven),  B.Toperverg (Bochum), H. Wacklin (ESS), J. Webster (ISIS)

Neutrons and Food PDF

How can neutron scattering help to make wine tastier, to extend the shelf life time of food by improved packaging, improve the recipe for fresh cheeses, fight obesity or make the crust of bread ever more crispy?

If you want to know more or if you have any ideas, please participate in the workshop Neutrons and Food to be held 29 January – 1 February 2012 in Delft.
More information can be found at neutronfood.tudelft.nl.

The deadline for abstracts is 8 December 2011.
