[Neutron] Workshop "Getting the most from your POWGEN data", Jul 23-24, 2026 in ORNL

[Zhang, Qiang]

Dear Colleagues,

        We are excited to announce a workshop entitled "Getting the most from your POWGEN data" which will be held on Jul 23-24, 2026 (spanning 2 days), in person at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The workshop aims to bring existing and potential POWGEN users together and train them on comprehensive data analysis of time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction data.



        The workshop’s primary objective is to equip attendees with essential skills to get the most from POWGEN data. The tutorials will cover the basics of neutron diffraction techniques, Rietveld refinement of long-range crystal and magnetic structures. Advanced data processing methods to deal with event-based data and pixel-by-pixel neutron absorption corrections on POWGEN data will also be covered. The tutorials will include software packages GSAS-II and FullProf.  The workshop will also offer an opportunity for existing POWGEN users to get help from the POWGEN team to work through any obstacles they may have encountered and move forward with their data analysis.

      This 2-day workshop is free and the DEADLINE to register is Friday, May 15th, 2026.  For more details and to apply, please go to https://conference.sns.gov/event/548/. Attendance will be limited to 40 participants to ensure the effectiveness of the hands-on learning. Preference will be given to active and future ORNL users engaged in neutron powder diffraction.



      We kindly encourage you to share this announcement with colleagues whom you believe would benefit from this workshop. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks.
