SHUG User Meetings
User meetings are held every other year and are co-organized by the SHUG Executive Committee and ORNL Neutron Scattering Division staff. Every four years, this meeting is also a joint event co-organized with ORNL’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. Town halls are also held in parallel with the American Conference on Neutron Scattering (ACNS) meeting on the off years. User meetings are major events for the North American neutron scattering community and typically include plenary speakers, themed parallel sessions, workshops, town halls, facilities tours, panel discussions, and poster sessions.
