Access for Australian Researchers to Advanced Neutron-Beam Techniques

中子散射是材料研究中最有力和最重要的研究工具之一。澳大利亚只有一个低通量中子源，即HIFAR，它不提供冷中子或热中子。这不包括大的，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。 这项申请旨在继续澳大利亚与世界上最强的中子源-英国的ISIS-的伙伴关系，以维持澳大利亚目前依赖ISIS的可观的科学势头。 这些成果将是不能仅在澳大利亚国内产生的新科学。

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. This application aims to continue Australia's partnership 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. The outcomes will be new science that cannot be generated solely within Australia.
