CREMLIN Workshop "Engineering for advanced neutron instrumenation and sample environment"

13 May 2018, 09:00 → 16 May 2018, 18:00 Europe/Moscow

Hotel New Peterhof, Peterhof, Russia

The Cremlin workshop "Engineering for advanced neutron instrumenation and sample environment" is jointly organized by NRC "Kurchtov Institute" - PNPI and the German Research Reactor FRM II operated by the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The Russian PIK Reactor will become operational and open to the neutron user community towards the end of this decade. In order to define PIK's specific position within the European neutron landscape and to meet the demands of both European and Russian researchers, the workshop is aiming at developing guidelines for a general instrumentation concept for the PIK reactor and for the supporting structure of sample environment. More specifically, the topics include mechanical construction, neutron components, electronic components, detectors, automatization, instrument control and differents aspects of sample environment. In order to cover different methods and approaches speakers from the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), ESS (European Spallation Source), Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG), the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, and from the organizing institutes PNPI and FRM II/MLZ will be invited. The talks will be presented either in Russian or English, translation will be provided. The two poster sessions offer a platform for discussion, since every talk will be summarized in a poster. Furthermore, participants who would like to share their ideas and developments are warmly encouraged to hand in their posters. The social events, the conference dinner on Monday evening and the visit of the Grand Peterhof Palace on Tuesday offer another opportunity to deepen scientific and personal exchange. We cordially invite scientists and engineers to share their experience and views in order to contribute to the success of this workshop.
