[Neutron] Dynamics of Soft Matter Workshop - Dec. 4-6, 2008

[Ekkebus, Allen E.]

Dear colleague,

 

The Dynamics of Soft Matter Workshop will be held December 4-6, 2008, in
Boston Massachusetts, as a satellite event of the MRS annual meeting.
Contributed talks and posters are being solicited.  Sessions on complex
fluids, biology, polymers, and surfaces, are planned.  See the website
http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/dsm2008/index.shtml for more information
(including plenary and invited speakers and the agenda) with
instructions for submitting contributed talks and posters.  Each talk
will include an overview of the status of current applications and
techniques, the potential of using advanced neutron techniques to
provide new capabilities, and the developments required to enable these
goals to be met.  The Workshop will utilize open discussion to summarize
the science presentations to maximize the integration of science and
techniques to develop the directions of research and future investments
in a wide variety of environments. Active feedback will enable a summary
of future actions to be discussed on the last day. Included in the
Workshop summary will be a description of the capabilities of the
present and planned reactor and accelerator-based sources along with
development of new techniques. The summary will also serve as an
important document when communicating with funding agencies and the
public. 

 

Based on presentations and discussions during this Workshop, an outline
and writing assignments will be developed for a book in the Springer
Series on Neutron Scattering Applications and Techniques
(http://www.springer.com/series/8141); it is expected that this book
will serve as a guideline for future international collaborations.
