Abstract
The Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA) organized the first American Conference on Neutron Scattering (ACNS) from June 23–27, 2002 in Knoxville, TN. Attended by over 400 scientists and engineers from thirteen countries, the multi-disciplinary ACNS was sponsored by the national neutron centers with assistance from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The conference, the largest on neutron science ever held in the US., included more than 250 papers in the fields of biology, soft condensed matter, magnetism, instrumentation, fundamental neutron physics, chemistry, and industrial applications, all with the common thread of neutrons for research. The ACNS also served as a national meeting for present and potential users of the neutron research centers at Argonne, Chalk River, Los Alamos, National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and Oak Ridge, and provided an opportunity to gain insight into the capabilities and available instrumentation at these facilities. Tours of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Project and the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory were also available.
