Workshop Goal
The European community is currently working to develop plans for the ESS, a 5 MW long-pulse spallation neutron source, and the SNS in the US is currently developing plans for a second target station (STS) operating in the long-pulse mode at ~1 MW. Therefore it makes sense for the US and European communities to pool resources to develop a better understanding of what might be possible with neutron beam instrumentation optimized for operation at high-power long-pulse spallation neutron sources.
Advances beyond the capabilities of current sources and instrumentation generally require improvements in some combination of the following four areas:
* Smaller samples (access to new materials existing only in small quantities)
* Faster measurements (kinetic processes, non-equilibrium systems, parametric processes)
* Larger length scales (biology, soft-matter chemistry, aggregation, self-assembly, vortex lattices)
* Longer time scales (big floppy systems)
The goal of this workshop is to systematically look at how far each measurement technique can be pushed at the currently planned long-pulse sources, with emphasis on these four broad areas.
This workshop was build on earlier work at the recent long-pulse instrumentation workshops in Europe (Rencurel, 2006 and Ven, 2008) and the Second Target Station instrumentation workshop in the US (Oak Ridge, 2007), as well as several much earlier long-pulse workshops.
