MUON Workshop

材料研究司提供资金支持由材料研究学会组织的虚拟研讨会。该研讨会将成为北美科学家之间科学交流的场所，以了解各种μ子光谱技术和未来μ子设施所带来的科学。研讨会将展示最近的成果，并提供一个论坛，供科学讨论介子在硬、软凝聚态物质、生物学、磁学、工程材料和仪器开发等领域的研究。这将通过邀请口头报告和分组会议的结合来实现。充分的自发讨论和合作的机会被建立在程序中，以促进新的科学思想的自由交流，并探索强大的μ子散射方法的潜在用途。研讨会将汇集大学教师、学生、博士后和国家实验室科学家，交流和讨论μ子科学各个领域的最新发展，并为μ子光谱设施的未来起草路线图。该研讨会将于2021年2月1日至2日举行，将是一场虚拟会议。研讨会结束时将生成一份报告，概述里程碑和时间表，用于指导美国未来的μ子项目。NSF基金用于最大限度地提高研究生和博士后的参与度。μ子自旋光谱是一种利用自旋极化μ子光束进行凝聚态物理、工程、能源材料、化学和生物学等科学实验的实验技术。这项技术有着悠久而完善的历史，具有引人注目的科学生产力，但目前在美国没有能够进行这些实验的设施。材料研究司提供资金支持由材料研究学会组织的虚拟研讨会。该研讨会将成为北美科学家之间科学交流的场所，使他们能够接触到各种μ子光谱技术和μ子设施所带来的科学。研讨会将展示最近的成果，并提供一个论坛，供科学讨论介子在硬、软凝聚态物质、生物学、磁学、工程材料和仪器开发等领域的研究。这将通过邀请口头报告和分组会议的结合来实现。充分的自发讨论和合作的机会被建立在程序中，以促进新的科学思想的自由交流，并探索强大的μ子散射方法的潜在用途。研讨会将汇集大学教师、学生、博士后和国家实验室科学家，交流和讨论μ子科学各个领域的最新发展，并为μ子光谱设施的未来起草路线图。该研讨会将于2021年2月1日至2日举行，将是一场虚拟会议。研讨会结束时将生成一份报告，概述里程碑和时间表，用于指导美国未来的μ子项目。NSF基金用于最大限度地提高研究生和博士后的参与度。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Division of Materials Research provides funds to support a virtual workshop organized by the Materials Research Society. The workshop will be a venue for scientific exchange among North American scientists to become exposed to the diverse muon spectroscopy techniques and the science enabled by future muon facility. The workshop will showcase recent results and provide a forum for scientific discussion of muon-enabled research in fields as diverse as hard and soft condensed matter, biology, magnetism, engineering materials, and instrument development. This will be achieved through a combination of invited oral presentations, and break-out sessions. Ample opportunities for spontaneous discussions and collaboration are built into the program to facilitate the free exchange of new scientific ideas and to explore the potential use of powerful muon scattering methods. The workshop will bring together university faculty, students, post-docs, and national laboratory scientists to communicate and discuss the latest developments in all areas of Muon science and to draft a roadmap for the future of muon spectroscopy facility. The workshop is scheduled for February 1-2, 2021 and will be a virtual meeting. A report will be generated at the end of the workshop, outlining the milestones and a timeline that will be used to guide a future Muon project for the US. NSF funds are used to maximizing the participation of graduate students and post-docs.Muon spin spectroscopic is an experimental technique using beams of spin-polarized muons to perform scientific experiments in condensed matter physics, engineering, energy materials, chemistry and biology. The technique has a long, well-established history of high-profile scientific productivity, but there is currently no facility in the US capable of performing these experiments.
