Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center, Washington, DC

The conference will provide essential information on the breadth and depth of current neutron-related research worldwide. This year's conference will feature a combination of invited and contributed talks, posters sessions, tutorials and an industrial exhibit. Plus, the last day of the conference features a tour of NIST Center for Neutron Research.

Materials Research Society (MRS)

Ottawa, ON, Canada

The fifth American Conference on Neutron Scattering will be locally organized by the Canadian Neutron Beam Centre (National Research Council), and will be held at the landmark Fairmont Château Laurier, located in the heart of Canada's capital next door to the Parliament Buildings.

The conference is intended to showcase recent scientific results in neutron science in a wide range of fields, including soft and hard condensed matter, liquids, biology, magnetism, engineering materials, chemical spectroscopy, crystal structure, fundamental physics, and developments in neutron instrumentation. This will be accomplished through a combination of invited and contributed talks, along with poster sessions.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA

With the new Spallation Neutron Source coming on line, the recently announced expansion of the neutron facilities at NIST, and reinvigorated programs at other North American facilities, this is truly an exciting time for neutron research in North America. Whether you are already a neutron user, or would simply like to find out how neutrons can help solve your problems in the materials and biological sciences, the American Conference on Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is the essential venue to hear about the high quality and breadth of current neutron-related research across North America.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)

St. Charles, IL

The third American Conference on Neutron Scattering will be held at the Pheasant Run Conference Center in St. Charles, IL, June 18-22, 2006. The conference is being organized under the auspices of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA) with local arrangements for the conference being made by the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory.

The conference is intended to showcase recent scientific results in

neutron science. The specific sorting categories for abstracts are:

Biology, Chemistry and Materials, Engineering and Applications,

Instrumentation and Software, Soft Matter, Condensed Matter Physics and Fundamental Physics.

Argonne National Laboratory

College Park, MD

The ACNS conference is intended to showcase recent scientific results in neutron science. The specific sorting categories for abstracts are: Biology, Chemistry and Materials, Engineering/Applications, Instrumentation, Soft Matter, Condensed Matter Physics and Fundamental Physics. The conference will feature the presentation of the first Cliff Shull Prize for Neutron Science to be awarded to J. Michael Rowe (NIST).

University of Maryland

Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

The conference will have a dual purpose. It is intended to showcase

recent scientific results in neutron science in a wide range of fields,

including soft condensed matter and liquids, biology, magnetism,

engineering materials, chemical spectroscopy, crystal structure, and

elementary excitations. This will be accomplished through a combination of invited and contributed talks as well as poster sessions. Equally important, the conference is intended to fulfill many of the objectives of a facility users’ meeting but on a national scale. Hence, the conference will provide an opportunity for the major neutron centers in North America to interact with neutron users and will provide a forum for users to raise issues that relate to using these facilities.

This year’s conference will include an update on the United States’ next-generation neutron source project, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a multilaboratory partnership, and will allow for feedback from the neutron-scattering community.
