<<Scope>>
======================================================================
This is an international symposium to discuss science and instruments
using pulsed neutrons.  Pulsed neutron scattering technique has
become an indispensable tool for studying atomic structure and
dynamics of materials, hence there are large demands from solid state
physics, materials science, bio-physics, polymer science and even
earth science.  Two 1MW class facilities, SNS and J-PARC-JSNS, and
the ISIS second target station are now under construction.  These new
sources will give us a one or two order of magnitude higher neutron
peak flux, giving an un-experienced new stage in science with neutrons
in 3 years time or so.  Therefore, it is an appropriate time to review
the scientific results done so far by using pulsed neutrons, identify
future opportunities in science with the new sources and to discuss
the instruments to challenge to be frontier in science.

The symposium session includes a plenary session, oral sessions,
poster session, instrument workshops to discuss instruments in new
sources, especially on JSNS instruments, and informal working
sessions to discuss world wide collaboration in computing, detector,
optics, etc.  The symposium will be closed in the J-PARC site with
a summary of the workshops and the working sessions.

A satellite workshop (UKJ2003) on the UK-Japan collaboration, which
has led to the development of innovative instruments (i.e. MARI and
MAPS in ISIS), will follow the symposium. (Anyone is welcome to
attend this workshop.)  These instruments have produced outstanding
scientific results, not only by British and Japanese researchers,
but also by scientists world wide, and have influenced instrument
developments for the future projects, i.e. JSNS, SNS, ESS and
ISIS-II.  In the workshop we will discuss scientific output from
the collaboration and instrumentation for JSNS and ISIS-II,
especially on inelastic neutron instruments, i.e. multi-chopper,
viewing coupled moderator with broad pulse width.  We will also
exchange sample environment technology such as high pressure device,
high magnetic field etc. and discuss future use of neutrons by
forming a tight collaboration (virtual laboratory) among neutron
facility and materials laboratories. The workshop will be closed
after summary & dinner session with talks on "UK-Japan collaboration,
the past and the future".
