ANSTO has been successful in attracting the 2017 Design and Engineering of Neutron Instruments Meeting (DENIM 2017) to Sydney. The purpose and scope of DENIM is to provide a forum for the discussion of the current state of the art of rapidly evolving scientific instrumentation.
The main objective is to bring together engineers to introduce the neutron research institutes, from engineer’s point of view, and to discuss the technical aspects of designing and building neutron instruments. Engineers come together as a community to share ideas and enhance future neutron scattering instruments. The goal is to establish and improve the communication between engineers at different facilities and sharing of ideas, both successes and failures.
The community of engineers is also keen to hear from instrument scientists the most stringent challenges as well as mid- and long-term requirements in the field of existing and foreseeable neutron scattering techniques.
The 2015 DENIM was held in Budapest, with the 2016 meeting scheduled at the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden, followed by Sydney in 2017.
Congratulations to Scott Olsen, Stewart Pullen and Paris Constantine, who put our successful bid together.
