SNS Neutron Instrumentation Workshop and Oak Ridge Neutron Users Meeting, Knoxville, Tennessee, November 9-11, 1998

9819471 Magid仪器仪表研讨会的主要目的是讨论科学界对橡树岭国家实验室（ORNL）正在建设的新Sputron中子源（SNS）仪器仪表的需求。 将涵盖的主题包括：散斑中子源的最新现状和预期性能;作为SNS参考设计的一部分，将在高功率靶站建造的最初一套10台仪器的优先事项;以及为长波长中子优化的第二套靶/仪器的科学案例。 第二个目的是召开第一次橡树岭中子用户会议。 这将包括SNS和高通量同位素反应堆的现有和潜在用户。 将涵盖的主题包括：批准用户组的章程;讨论SNS和HFIR的用户政策和问题;介绍目前正在进行的HFIR中子散射设施升级。 这部分由ORNL支持。 任何对使用中子散射研究材料结构和动力学感兴趣的人都将被鼓励参加。 将提供资金，帮助支付因其他原因无法出席研讨会的一些与会者的费用。 %这是一个重要的研讨会，为未来的材料研究。 这是及时的，因为建造散斑中子源现已获得授权，能源部1999财政年度预算已拨出资金。 预计该设施建成后，美国国家科学基金会科学界将成为该设施的众多用户之一。

9819471MagidThe main purpose of the Instrumentation Workshop is to discuss scientific community needs for instrumentation at the new Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) that is under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Topics to be covered include: Update on the current status and expected performance of the Spallation Neutron Source; priorities for the initial suite of ten instruments to be built at the high-power target station as part of the SNS reference design; and the science case for a second target/instrument suite optimized for long wavelength neutrons. A secondary purpose is to hold the first meeting of Oak Ridge Neutron Users. This will include current and potential users of both the SNS and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). Topics to be covered include: Approval of By-Laws for the Users Group; discussion of user policies and concerns for SNS and HFIR; and presentations describing upgrades to the neutron scattering facilities at HFIR currently underway. This part is being supported by ORNL. Anyone with an interest in the use of neutron scattering to study the structure and dynamics of materials will be encouraged to attend. Funds will be made available to help defray the costs of attending the workshop for some participants who could not otherwise attend. %%%This is an important workshop for the future of materials research. It is timely because construction of the Spallation Neutron Source has now been authorized and funds appropriated in the FY 1999 budget of DOE. The NSF scientific community is expected to be among the many users of this facility when it is completed.
