ACNS Call for Abstracts
Abstracts Due March 1, 2004
2004 American Conference on Neutron Scattering
College Park, MD June 6-10, 2004
On-line abstract submission at:
http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/acns/

The second American Conference on Neutron Scattering will be hosted 
by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and will be held in the Inn 
and Conference Center for the University of Maryland University 
College in College Park, MD June 6-10, 2004.

The conference is intended to showcase recent scientific results in 
neutron science.  The specific sorting categories for abstracts are: 
Biology, Chemistry and Materials, Engineering/Applications, 
Instrumentation, Soft Matter, Condensed Matter Physics and 
Fundamental Physics.  The conference will feature the presentation of 
the first Cliff Shull Prize for Neutron Science to be awarded to J. 
Michael Rowe (NIST).

The afternoon of Wednesday June 9 is being set aside in anticipation 
of the need for breakout sessions.  Breakout sessions can be used to 
accommodate groups that want to plan, organize and discuss particular 
projects such as the development of a specific neutron instrument, 
data collection or analysis systems, etc.  If you have a well-defined 
set of topics you would like to organize, please go the ACNS webpage 
to request a breakout session.

The conference encourages the participation of graduate students, 
postdocs, and new faculty, as well as established researchers in 
neutron scattering and allied disciplines. For the former groups, 
funds will be available to help defray travel expenses.  The NSSA 
Prize for Outstanding Student Research will also be awarded at the 
meeting (see conference website for details).
