<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the International Committee of the Union of the Compact Accelerator based Neutron Sources (U-CANS), it is my pleasure to announce the next meeting UCANS8 that will be held in Paris 8-11<sup>th</sup> of July 2019.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">As you might know there is currently a strong interest in CANS as a possible new type of source for neutron scattering experiments.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The goal here is to inform the scientific community about the current status of these techniques, to share expertise and address questions of common
interest for a wide variety of use of neutron scattering, involving engineers, technicians, students or scientists interested in developing these methods for academic or industrial research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">We propose a workshop focusing on three major aspects of CANS :<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">- Accelerators (Accelerator and beam optics)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">- Target/Moderator (Target, Moderator neutronics, Nuclear data, Computer simulations, Material characterization)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">- Instruments/Scientific applications (Innovative instrumentation, Optical devices, Neutron detection, Medical Applications)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">and general discussions on actions that could be promoted together.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The Flyer of the workshop is attached; the aim is to keep time for presentations and discussions, from Monday morning the 8<sup>th</sup> of july to
Wednesday the 10<sup>th</sup> afternoon , and a visit of the neutron center at Saclay (accelerator IPHI, LLB) is proposed.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
