Dear neutron users,
30 years Committee Research with Neutrons
The KFN has been fostering research with neutrons for 30 years - a good occasion for a review. In the brochure "30 Years of KFN" (in German only) you find a chronicle, background information and interviews with many people involved - vivid insights into the committee's work. The brochure was presented at the SNI2018. You can get printed copies from Astrid Schneidewind (also of the current ENSA brochure), and you find the brochure online at https://www.sni-portal.de/de/nutzervertretungen/komitee-forschung-mit-neutronen/das-komitee/dokumente/30-jahre-komitee-forschung-mit-neutronen-1987-2017-1?set_language=de
New website
The KFN is legitimized by being elected, therefore we need the addresses of the neutron users. To protect them, these data are now kept completely offline. Changes can be sent to kfnadmin@sni-portal.de at any time.
Also the website has been changed to prevent unwanted access, it is now based on plone. You may have noticed already that the website is still under construction, it will be complemented bit by bit.
What does the KFN do?
An important topic that the KFN currently deals with is the digital agenda of the government. KFN represents the user's needs in the preparatory phase of the action plan ErUM-Data. Proposals and concepts were developed in cooperation with the Committee Research with Synchrotron Radiation (KFS) and discussed with the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
The upcoming end of operation at BER II in one year will bring MLZ even more into the center of attention in German and European neutron research. The KFN accompanies the development of this unique neutron center in Germany.
KFN is also active on the European level, as well in the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) as in the newly founded League of Advanced European Neutron Sources (LENS).
ECNS 2019
Speaking of Europe: The European Conference on Neutron Scattering (ECNS) 2019 will take place in the beginning of July in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Abstract submission is going on, the deadline is on the 15th of February, 2019.

RAC Newsletter
Read the latest news from the Röntgen-Ångström-Cluster in the current RAC newsletter. Nine German-Swedish projects have started in summer 2018, e.g. the one by Reiner Dahint (University of Heidelberg) and Thomas Ederth (Linköping University), which will merge several different measurement techniques in one and the same device: "A mobile set-up for simultaneous and in situ neutron reflectivity, infrared spectroscopy, and ellipsometry studies: Design, implementation and pilot experiments".
