[Neutron] New canSAS working group: SESANS Reproducibility

[Gregory Smith - STFC UKRI]

Dear all,

Spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (or SESANS) is a variant of SANS that uses the Larmor precession of polarised neutrons to study the structure of materials over length scales larger than those accessible by conventional SANS (comparable to USANS), and in real space.

SESANS instruments have the same need for reliable and reproducible measurements that any neutron instruments do. To address this, we have formed a new subgroup of the canSAS Reproducibility and Reliability Working Group to focus on “SESANS Reproducibility”.

The mission of the group is to achieve SESANS measurements that are the same, independent of the instrument used. We will discuss possible standard calibration samples for SESANS as well as general issues of reproducibility between instruments.

More information about the group can be found on the canSAS wiki.

Furthermore, we have established a mailing list so that interested researchers can keep informed of our activities. If you are interested in joining this mailing list, you can subscribe here.

We look forward to updating the neutron community of our activities as we make progress.

Apologies for any cross-posting!
