style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">Neutron
scattering and imaging instrumentation is undergoing a
transition. As the number of individual neutron sources falls,
several new sources are currently under construction, and
instruments are being upgraded at existing sources. This great
renewal of neutron instrumentation requires ever higher
performance from neutron detectors. These demands include better
spatial and time resolution; larger solid angle coverage; better
signal: noise; and being compatible with higher fluxes to enable
faster experiments on smaller samples. The demands on resolution
and detector coverage are highly dependent on technique and
source as are the corresponding increases in the volume and rate
of data that must be handled.</span></p>

style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">Opposing
pressures to the performance requirements include limitations on
what is considered an acceptable cost to a project, and that for
projects in many Member States, applications in which helium-3
may formerly have been considered, it is either not as available
in the quantities required, or its cost may be prohibitive.</span></p>

style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">The
virtual meeting will be organized and hosted by the IAEA around
the topics listed below. The agenda will be structured to have
discussion time sufficient to facilitate reaching conclusions.
In preparation for the meeting, it is expected that speakers
will target their presentations to address the meeting’s aims. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">The
individual sessions and their times will be determined once the
final list of attendees and their geographic location is known.
The virtual meeting will be conducted via WebEx, and will be
supported by a SharePoint site via the IAEA’s Nucleus system.
Contributed papers will be asked to be uploaded to the site two
weeks prior to the virtual meeting. Further details on
presentation formats will be distributed closer to the time of
the meeting.</span></p>
