Neutron Scattering Group

The Neutron Scattering Group is a joint venture between the RSC and the Institute of Physics, though the Institute actually provides most of the administrative assistance.

Mission Statement

The principal functions of the Group are:

• to disseminate information about the neutron facilities available to as wide an audience as possible, particularly to newer entrants to the field and to those who work in related areas but who may occasionally wish to utilise neutron scattering techniques
• to circulate a newsletter to Group members two or three times each year
• to organise informal one, two or three-day meetings/conferences covering various aspects of neutron scattering. These may range from the more fundamental aspects of condensed matter research to applied neutron scattering with increased participation from industrial concerns
• hosting a regular introductory summer school to cover basic theory and recently developed techniques
• collaboration with other groups and societies in connection with more general conferences allowing the comparison of neutron scattering methods with other techniques.
