[Neutron] Call for abstracts: Science & Scientists at ESS, Berlin, Germany, 19-20 April 2012

[Roger Eriksson]

Dear colleague,

we like to remind you on the upcoming deadline for abstract submission for the Science & Scientists at ESS meeting, to be held in Berlin, Germany, 19-20 April 2012.

The deadline for abstract submission is March 8, 2012.

You can submit your abstract from the conference web-site: http://esss.se/s-and-s

Abstracts are accepted for :
1. Neutron research in materials and fundamental physics.
2. Instrument concepts for long pulse neutron sources and proposals for instruments to be build at the ESS.
3. Developments in neutron technologies such as neutron optics, choppers, detectors and sample environment
4. Progress in neutron production: accelerator technology, spallation target, neutron moderators.


Further details on this meeting are provided below but much more information, important dates and registration details are available at http://esss.se/s-and-s.

Most welcome to Berlin!

SCOPE OF THE MEETING:
At the Science and Scientist meeting in Berlin, you will hear about the progress made in delivering the ESS as well as the scientific and technical challenges that neutron science faces.The meeting aims to facilitate interactions between ESS and the broad scientific community on the scientific programme and instrumentation that ESS and its partners will build for Europe.

The community involvement ensures identifying and selecting the instrumentation serving future scientific needs best.
Your participation, as a user of neutron facilities is important in forging the future of Neutron Science in Europe together.


PRACTICAL INFORMATION AND DEADLINES:
The meeting will take place at the Deutsche Telekom’s Berlin representative office on 19-20 April 2012.
Conference fee is 120 € (students 60€).
Companions are very welcome to the conference dinner for a fee of 40€.
The abstract submission for the poster contribution requires online registration.

Deadlines: 
Abstract submission	8. March
Online registration		5. April


PROGRAMME
The programme of the meeting aims to address the different needs of the European neutron user community.
The main focus is on the scientific and the experimental  possibilities the ESS provides. In addition, information concerning the ESS project is given.

(Semi-)parallel topical work groups on experimental possibilities are organized by neutron instrument classes. 
Their aim is to harvest the requirements and ideas from the community focusing on the instrument concepts developed and discussed for the ESS. Ideally this input will not only influence the current instrument concepts already under consideration but encourage the user community to engage directly with ESS on new instrument ideas. 

The work groups are chaired jointly by ESS scientist and an external convener from European universities and research institutions. Short scientific and instrument presentations are planned. The presentations will be kept comprehensive allowing a broad discussion with the participants. A poster session proceeds the topic work groups.
