Preliminary Program for Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Workshop at 
Australia's
Replacement Research
Reactor

On the 13th and 14th of December 2001, the seventh of eight workshops 
to discuss
the neutron-beam
instrumentation for Australia's Replacement Research Reactor will take 
place at
Lucas Heights, just
outside Sydney, Australia. The subject will be scientific applications and
technology of small-angle
neutron scattering.

The purpose of the workshop is to
i) demonstrate the applications of this technique to Australian industry,
government and
universities, and
ii) make a start on defining specifications for a small-angle scattering
instrument at the
Replacement Research Reactor

The workshop is open to all participants, and there are funds to support 
travel
for staff and
students from Australian and New Zealand Universities.

For more information, see http://www.ansto.gov.au/ansto/neut/

To register online, see http://www.ansto.gov.au/ansto/neut/
workshop6_reg.html

Please bring the workshop to the attention of any colleagues who may 
find it of
interest.
