Access for Australian Researchers to Advanced Neutron-Beam Technique

澳大利亚研究人员获得先进中子束技术。中子散射是材料研究中最有力、最重要的研究工具之一。澳大利亚只有一个低通量中子源HIFAR，它既不提供冷中子也不提供热中子。这就排除了大型、重要的科学领域，如功能膜、聚合物、自组装系统、生物材料、胶体和乳液，以及实时原位研究。该申请旨在继续澳大利亚与世界上最强烈的中子源——英国的ISIS的合作关系，以维持澳大利亚目前依赖ISIS的可观的科学势头。结果将是新的科学，而这些科学不能仅仅在澳大利亚产生。

Access for Australian Researchers to Advanced Neutron-Beam Technique. Neutron scattering is one of the most powerful and important investigative tools in the study of materials. Australia has only a low-flux neutron source, HIFAR, which provides no cold or hot neutrons. This excludes large, important areas of science, such as functional films, polymers, self-assembly systems, biological materials, colloids and emulsions, and real-time in-situ studies. \r\n\r\nThis application aims to continue Australia's parnership with the world's most intense neutron source, ISIS in the UK, in order to sustain the considerable Australian scientific momentum which now relies on ISIS.\r\n\r\nThe outcome will be new science that cannot be generated solely within Australia.
