In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.

I have read and understood the above.

Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.

I have read and understood the above.

8. Neutron techniques and applications: Neutrons - a unique analytical probe for science and innovation

Dr Mark Johnson (Head of Partnerships & Communication. Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble, France)

03/11/2022, 11:00

Neutrons are a unique and essential probe of materials, interacting with nuclei rather than electrons, except in magnetic systems. Through a range of experimental techniques and the associated instrumentation, neutrons cover about ten decades in length scale and a similar extent in time scale, affording an almost unlimited field of applications in condensed matter science and nuclear and...

9. Catalyses: The application of neutron scattering techniques in heterogeneous catalysis research

Prof. David Lennon (School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK)

03/11/2022, 11:55

Heterogeneous catalysis plays a pivotal role in the chemical manufacturing sector. Efficient catalyst design enables reactions to be performed at large-scale and for extended periods of time. Typically, product selectivity is a primary design parameter, with waste minimisation central to the economic viability of the commercial process. Historically, the implementation of heterogeneous...

10. Lifesciences: Neutron scattering in life science: capabilities & sample requirements

Dr Zoë Fisher (Scientific Activities Division, European Spallation Source ERIC, Lund, Sweden; Biology Department, Lund University, Lund, Sweden )

03/11/2022, 13:50

Neutron scattering techniques are a powerful tool in life science research. The lack of ionizing radiation damage and the ability to use hydrogen isotope labelling & contrast make neutrons uniquely suited for the study of biological materials. With improving neutron instruments and an increasing number that are well-suited to the study of biomolecules, the expectation is that this community...

11. Energy storage: Neutrons to understand improvement in battery performance upon anode modification

Dr Neelima Paul (Group leader - Data evaluation group, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), TU München, Garching, Germany )

03/11/2022, 14:35

Electric vehicles are on the way to replace gasoline-powered vehicles n our near future. To power such vehicles, Li-ion batteries with very high storage capacities are necessary, so that these cars travel sufficiently large distances before needing a recharge at charging stations. Moreover, these batteries should have long lifetimes so that they can be charged and discharged several times...

12. Magnetism: Magnetic order and disorder probed by neutron scattering

Dr Martin Boehm (Head of the Spectroscopy Group, Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble, France) , Dr Thomas Saerbeck (Instrument Scientist D17, Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble, France)

03/11/2022, 15:35

Neutron scattering is a unique technique in magnetism and for correlated electron systems, since it measures directly the Fourier transform of the time-dependent magnetic pair correlations. We give a very brief introduction to magnetic neutron scattering and try to highlight the specificities of this technique with respect to other experimental magnetic probes, such as the unique kinematic...

21. Magnetism & NI: Neutron imaging on magnetic materials

Dr Nikolay Kardjilov (Institute of Applied Materials, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy, Germany)

03/11/2022, 16:20

Owing to their zero net charge neutrons are able to pass through thick layers of matter (typically several centimetres), but are sensitive to magnetic fields due to their intrinsic magnetic moment. Therefore, in addition to the conventional attenuation contrast image, the magnetic field inside and around a sample can be visualized independently by detection of polarization changes in the...

22. Summary and announcements

Prof. Andrew Venter (Necsa - Section Leader: Diffraction)

03/11/2022, 16:50

15. Agriculture: Water quantification measurement of therapeutic roots in soil for analyzing hydrology using neutron imaging under smart agriculture - Review and Perspective of neutron imaging for Agriculture

Dr Cheul Muu Sim (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, 1045 Daedeokdaero Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, 303-353, Korea )

04/11/2022, 09:00

A movement of water through plants has been the focus of scientific investigation for over 250 years. Recent developments(2008-2022) of neutron imaging in the field of in vivo plant have advanced to the point of near real-time visualization of water transport both through the rhizosphere and the xylem system of plants. In this workshop, the related research will be reviewed and looked at terms...

16. Engineering: Neutrons, the perfect tool to study materials in engineering applications

Dr Ralph Gilles (Head Advanced Materials, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), TU München, Garching, Germany )

04/11/2022, 09:45

Due to the high penetration depth and large beam cross section of neutrons and the existence of advanced sample environments, neutron methods have received great attention as a suitable probe in the study of engineered materials, especially metals. This contribution focuses on examples of how neutrons have a great impact to solve open questions in industrial challenges. Examples as pipeline...

25. Geosciences

Dr Jens Walter (Research associate at the Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics at the Georg-August University of Göttingen)

04/11/2022, 10:55

As a structural geologist, Dr Walter deals with (quantitative) microstructure analysis, the mechanisms and processes of rock deformation and recrystallization. In recent years Jens have been in charge of the realization of sample environments for deformation and recrystallization experiments in the neutron beam. This makes it possible to quantitatively determine deformation or...

17. Inorganic Chemistry: POROUS (GUEST@HOST) SYSTEMS: « sorption » vs « confinement » points of view

Dr Florence Porcher (Instrument Scientist in charge of the French Contribution to the conception & construction of DREAM instrument at the European Spallation Source (ESS). Laboratoire Léon Brillouin, CEA/CNRS, Saclay, France)

04/11/2022, 11:40

Porous materials (Macro-, Meso- & Micro- porous systems) form a large family englobing as different systems as amorphous carbons, semi-ordered MCM silicas and fully crystalline Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). All these compounds find their attractivity as solid host media where guest species can travel through, be trapped or be converted.This give rise to their present uses as molecular...

18. Paleo & Cultural Heritage: Neutron imaging in paleontology and technical applications

Dr Burkhard Schillinger (Instrument scientist for the neutron imaging facility ANTARES; Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), TU München, Garching, Germany)

04/11/2022, 12:25

The use of X-rays is always first choice because of easy availability and low cost - but when X-rays fail, there is a high probability that problems can be solved with neutron imaging, especially in archaeology and paleontology, where different fossilasion conditions render different contrasts for neutrons. The talk will give an overview about the examination of fossils embedded in 'red...
