ENSA

The European Neutron Scattering Association

The European Neutron Scattering Association, ENSA, is an affiliation of the national neutron scattering societies which directly represent neutron beam users.

It is a platform for discussion and a focus for action in neutron scattering and related topics within Europe.

Over 4500 neutron scatterers, two thirds of the world’s total number, reside in Europe and exploit European facilities.

This is the largest, most experienced and diverse community of neutron scatterers in the world !

ENSA Prizes
• The 2007 Hälg Prize will be awarded to Professor Jeffrey Penfold (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, UK).

• The prize committee set up by the European Crystallographic Association and European Neutron Scattering Association has decided unanimously to award the first Lewy-Bertaut prize to Henrik M. Rønnow.

THE ESF / ENSA SURVEY 2005 OF THE NEUTRON SCATTERING COMMUNITY IN EUROPE NOW PUBLISHED!
The ESF/ENSA survey 2005 is now published. The document analyzes the European neutron scattering community by scientific discipline and by type of research conducted; t examines the usage of existing installations, presenting the beam usage by source, by instrument type and by sample environment; And finally it reveals user-subjective criteria for the choice of the neutron source, the requirements for additional beamtime at existing sources, and the research on next generation high flux sources.
