In this year, ANBUG Town Hall Events will first hold a series of lectures on inelastic neutron scattering, which contains 4-5 lectures, covering the principles, instrument techniques, data processing, as well as theoretical calculations. Everyone who is interested in this field is welcome to join the lectures.
The first lecture will be held on Tuesday, 4th April at 11 am. Dr Kirrily Rule from ACNS will give a talk entitled ‘Neutron scattering for dynamic investigations – an overview of inelastic neutron scattering capabilities at ANSTO’.

The abstract submission deadline for the IUCr is fast approaching. Please submit your abstracts prior to the 21st February at the conference website https://iucr2023.org.
The Australian Neutron Beam User Group awards were announced on 9 November 2022, at the AINSE ANBUG Neutron Scattering Symposium.
Congratulations to all of the recipients! Each of the awardees has made unique and valuable scientific, technical, and leadership contributions to the neutron scattering community.
The award ceremony was held at the International Conference for Neutron Scattering, and a video can be viewed below:
The ANSTO powder diffraction workshop is on again from Nov 3rd-5th at the ANSTO Lucas Heights campus. The workshop is aimed at Australian and New Zealand PhD students wishing to learn the technique of Rietveld refinement in order to analyse their X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data.
