Access for Australian Researchers to Advanced Neutron-Beam Technique

澳大利亚研究人员获得先进的中子束技术。中子散射是材料研究中最强大、最重要的研究工具之一。澳大利亚只有一个低通量的中子源，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，如功能薄膜、聚合物、自组装系统、生物材料、胶体和乳剂，以及实时原位研究。\r\n\r\n此应用程序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，以保持澳大利亚目前依赖ISIS的可观的科学发展势头。\r\n\r\n结果将是不能仅在澳大利亚产生的新科学。

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.
