For the last 2 days the reconstituted Beam Instruments Advisory Group met, under the chair of Dr. Dan Neumann (NIST Centre for Neutron Science, USA), at Lucas Heights.
The BIAG gives the Institute management advice on all our major capital projects, including the NBI-2 Project (new guides, BILBY, EMU and DINGO instruments) and other instruments (PELICAN, SIKA and KOOKABURRA) already in construction or design.
In addition to Dan Neumann, Drs. Ian Gentle (Australian Synchrotron) and Michi Furusaka (U. of Hokkaido, Japan) continue from the previous committee, which last met in February 2007.
New members include: Dr. Ken Andersen (ILL-Grenoble), Prof. Craig Buckley (Curtin U.), Dr. Eberhard Lehmann (PSI), Prof. Greg Warr (Sydney U.) and Dr. Steve Wilkins (CSIRO). The BIAG will meet roughly every 6 months from now on.
