[Neutron] Reminder: ICANS XIX

[icans-xix]

Deadline for abstractsubmission: September 1, 2009





Dear Friends and colleagues!

On behalf of the ICANS collaboration and the organizing committee I
would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 

19th Meeting of the
International Collaboration on Advanced Neutron Sources (ICANS-XIX),
hosted by the Paul Scherrer Institut, PSI, Switzerland,
to be held from March 8 - 12, 2010 in Grindelwald, Switzerland.
ICANS, dating back to 1977, is an informal network of more than 15
institutions worldwide, providing a forum for scientists and engineers
to study and exchange information on the progress and developments in
conjunction with accelerator- and reactor-based neutron sources. The
attention of the Collaboration is on the subjects of accelerator
development, source (target) and moderator development, and neutron
scattering instrumentation techniques.
Since the last meeting in Dongguan, China, in 2007 significant progress
was made at various neutron science facilities, in particular at SNS,
Oak Ridge, and J-PARC, Tokai. Likewise, the ESS site decision has been
taken. It is the tradition of ICANS to cooperate and support each other,
and by continuing this series we hope to advance neutron science and to
further strengthen cooperation between and among the participating
laboratories.
Conference topics in short:
*	Accelerator system developments
*	Target station design and engineering
*	Instruments and beam lines for scattering and imaging
*	Fundamental physics with neutrons

Details on topics, venue, registration, accommodation, important dates
etc. you find at http://icans.web.psi.ch/
Besides the traditionally represented high-power and large-scale
facilities, we would in particular encourage smaller sources to submit
contributions on their development and perspectives. As well,
contributions from developing countries are very welcome.
Please forward this message to your friends and colleagues which might
also be interested to attend this meeting
Looking forward to welcome you at ICANS XIX
