Science Using Long-Wavelength Neutrons Workshop

On Nov. 20-21, 2000 a meeting will be held at Argonne on "Science Using Long-Wavelength Neutrons". This is a follow-up to the May SNS User Meeting and the final formal opportunity for community input into the proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a long-wavelength target station (LWTS) at SNS. On the first day, presentations will be made on the status of the scientific and technical portions of the proposal. These will be followed by presentations of the various scientific working groups.

On the afternoon of Nov. 20, we will have a Festschrift for David Price and Jack Carpenter to honor their many contributions to spallation neutron sources. We have put together a tentative agenda in which speakers will touch on a number of scientific areas: dynamics of glasses, powder diffraction, computer modeling, etc. This will be followed by a banquet at the Argonne Guest House where you will have the opportunity to celebrate your association with Jack and David.  The cost of the banquet is $30.  See the registration form for payment instructions.

The next day will include talks on the structure of the proposal, conventional facilities, budget details and schedule. Presentations will also be made on the status of the 3 instruments that will be discussed in detail in the proposal and the current "straw-man" list of instruments for the LWTS. Ideas for activities during years 2 and 3 of the NSF proposal will be solicited and discussed. There will be considerable time during the meeting for discussions and suggested changes to the draft NSF proposal. The meeting will end by early-afternoon on the 21st.

Lodging has been reserved at the Argonne Guest House for the nights of Nov. 19 and 20 at a rate of $55.65/night, tax included. The block of rooms will be held in reserve until November 3, 2000. Please contact Maria Heinig, (630) 252-6485 or email mheinig@anl.gov to reserve a room.
