These range from basic research facilities to industry and security applications, where the detection of neutrons or Xrays is needed. During the workshop there will be both presentations by the developers as well as users and a hands-on session, where a working prototype can be examined in working conditions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt;">Further information on the SoNDe project can be found at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="http://www.fz-juelich.de/ics/ics-1/EN/Leistungen/ESS/SoNDe-Projekt/_node.html" style="color: purple;">http://www.fz-juelich.de/ics/ics-1/EN/Leistungen/ESS/SoNDe-Projekt/_node.html</a></p></div><div><br></div></div><div>
