What's New?

The field of neutron imaging has a broad scope of applications and has played a pivotal role in visualizing and quantifying hydrogenous masses in metallic matrices. The field continues to expand into new applications with the installation of new neutron imaging facilities, the investigation of new imaging techniques and developments in neutron detector technology. This is the 8^th World Conference on Neutron Radiography, a series of conferences held every 4 years. The 7^th WCNR was held in Rome, Italy, hosted by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment in September 2002, with over 100 participants from 28 countries. Some of the main topics to be discussed are:

• new neutron imaging facilities
• detector development
• phase, stroboscopic, and other novel imaging techniques
• imaging for the hydrogen economy
• industrial imaging applications
• tomography and image reconstruction/analysis methods
• security applications
• fast neutron radiography
• miscellaneous

The conference will consist of oral presentations and a poster session. Proceedings of the conference will be available online and in hard copy.

Follow-Up Workshop: Imaging and Neutrons 2006 (IAN2006)

IAN2006 is planned as a follow up to the WCNR-8 and is directed to a broad-based international scientific community who are interested in the potential application of novel imaging techniques using neutrons with a particular emphasis on the capabilities provided by next generation neutron sources. The workshop will take as a base the status of the well established techniques such as neutron radiography and holography (summarized from WCNR-8), and develop concepts for new techniques including, but not limited to, microscopy, holography, neutron stimulated emission computed tomography, diffraction imaging, and neutron magnetic resonance. More information on the program and scholarships may be found at IAN2006.
