Second Announcement

International Conference on Neutron and X-Ray Scattering

(ICNX 2009)

29, 30 June & 01 July 2009

Putra World Trade Centre

In view of the success of previous neutron and x-ray scattering conference in this region (ICNX 2007, Serpong and Bandung, Indonesia), it has been decided to reconvene the International Conference on Neutron and X-Ray Scattering, in 2009. The conference will take place from June 29, 30 and july 1, 2009 at Putra World Trade Centrre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Scattering technique using neutron and x-ray is a powerful method to probe and study the structures and dynamics of materials ranging from the mechanics of protein folding and its effect in physiology to the ordering of atomic magnets of solid materials of industrial interest. Both neutron and x-ray can be exploited using a variety of measurement techniques to provide information not otherwise available.

The availability of new optical system that can micro-focus neutron provides opportunity to explore new characterization technique and full-utilization of small research reactor that scattered throughout the world. The emergences of new synchrotrons allow more scientists to use high-intensity x-ray for their research. In addition, new modeling approach and software development permit valuable connection between theoretical and experimental analysis.  Characterization with neutron and x-ray scattering has made significant contribution to the large research activities in engineering, materials development, polymer dynamics, chemical technology, biological studies, and physics, and will continue to do so.

The objective of this conference is to bring together scientists who develop neutron and x-ray scattering instruments, perform characterization experiments, synthesized materials and computation. Discussion will be focused on recent results and ideas in these areas. The conference will consist of lectures and poster on new and emerging areas in scattering technique

Researchers in research organizations, government, industry and academia, who are working on instrument development, materials synthesis and characterization, modeling and simulation of neutron and x-rays scattering experiment.

Posters are invited on the topics outlined and others falling within the scope of the conference. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted before January 31^th. 2009. We strongly encourage the submission of abstract electronically.

Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and conclusion of the work to be described in the final poster. Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper of the poster. The poster must be presented at the conference.

The language of the conference is English.

Full length paper of poster presented will be printed in a proceeding published by The American Institute of Physics (AIP)

The conference venue and details of the program will be announced later.

There will be space for organizations and companies to display products, services and literature to the theme of the conference. Further details are available from the Conference Secretariat

Kuala Lumpur is the largest city in Malaysia function as the center for major commercial and social life in the country.  The international airport is approximately 30 min to the city centre by train. It is a city with a combination of modern thriving metropolis and lingering old world charm. It houses over 1.3 million inhabitants with wide ethnic diversity which uniquely blends age-old customs and traditions: colorful festivals, songs and dances and a rich variety of foods to tempt the palate.

A distinctive combination of old colonial and new Asian where tea houses, shops and hawker stalls line streets next to world-class hotels and high-rise office blocks, you can see all these in Kuala Lumpur.

Wherever possible, information about this conference will be sent to you by e-mail
