WCNR-11
The 11th World Conference on Neutron Radiography (September 2nd – 7th 2018)
(Proceedings: https://www.mrforum.com/wp-content/uploads/open_access/9781644900574.pdf)
ANSTO, the Australian organization for nuclear science and technology hosted that meeting of the experts in modern neutron imaging this year in “early spring” with temperatures between 15 and 20 °C. Although the destination was quite far from most places of the world, more than 120 participants made the trip to “down under”.
MuhRec4
v4.0 is released.
Open source CT reconstruction
MuhRec is an open source CT reconstruction software developed at Paul Scherrer Institut. It has a graphical user interface that guides the user through the tuning of the reconstruction. Several preprocessing algorithms are provided for artefact removal and correction of biases introduced by beam hardening and scattering.
We can now proudly announce that the 2018-I release of MuhRec (v4.0) is available for download at GitHub
NEUWAVE-9
NIST hosts NEUWAVE-9
Neutron imaging methods that exploit wavelength dependent phenomena for novel image contrasts have been well-developed through the series of workshops on NEUtron WAVElength dependent imaging (NEUWAVE). The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted NEUWAVE-9 from 11-14 JUN 2017, featuring a networking event on Sunday 11 JUN, oral sessions with 35 talks from 12-14 JUN, an evening poster session on 12 JUN with 19 posters, and a tour of the research facilities at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). The 55 NEUWAVE participants represented more than 10 countries, and discussed the latest advancements in and applications of neutron Bragg-edge imaging, phase and dark field imaging, imaging detector technology, other energy-resolved imaging methods and neutron imaging facility developments.
