Imaging and Neutrons Workshop - Scholarships Available
Imaging and Neutrons 2006
October 23-25, 2006
Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN

IAN 2006 is directed to a broad-based international scientific community who wish to advance progress in the use of neutrons in a wide range of imaging applications. Many scientific disciplines use imaging techniques, from biology and medicine to industrial applications in engineering, homeland security, materials science and chemistry. The technique of neutron radiography was first used extensively in Europe in the 1930s, and over the past several decades, significant advances have been made in neutron tomography. Other techniques that will be explored include microscopy, holography, neutron stimulated emission computed tomography, and neutron magnetic resonance. In addition, mathematical techniques involving advanced reconstruction algorithms and software development will be noted along with enhancements of the current technologies utilized in design and operation of current neutron instrumentation.
Goals and Expected Outcomes

1. Identify the current needs and potential contributions of imaging with neutrons in a wide range of science and areas of applications.
2. Recognize new imaging techniques that may be made possible by advanced next generation sources that go beyond established techniques of radiography and tomography.
3. Produce a report identifying both potentially valuable imaging techniques and directions for additional research and investment to realize this potential worldwide.

Requests are actively solicited for presentation of contributed talks and posters at IAN2006. The topics and posters proposed should be relevant to this workshop.

We anticipate a limited number of scholarships up to $500 will be available to graduate students and early career faculty from U.S. academic institutions to attend the meeting AND present a poster. These scholarships are provided through the generosity of the Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences and the Oak Ridge Associated Universities.

Sponsors include:
• Oak Ridge National Laboratory/ Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor
• European Community’s Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy (NMI3)
• Oak Ridge Associated Universities, and
• UT/ORNL Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences
• in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency
