Dear
Colleagues and Friends:
The
18th Meeting of the International Collaboration
on Advanced Neutron Sources (ICANS-XVIII)
shall be held
from April 25-29,
2007 in
Dongguan
,
Guangdong
Province,
China
.
ICANS,
originated from a series of discussions that took place
in 1977 among Argonne National Laboratory, Los
Alamos Laboratory,
Rutherford
Laboratory,
Tohoku
University
and KEK, comprises
an informal network oftwelve
member-Laboratories worldwide. Over the past 30 years,
the ICANS meetings have provided a forum for
scientists and engineers all over the world to study and
exchange information on the development of accelerator-based
neutron science. This is the first time in its history
for ICANS to be hosted in
China
, of which we
are very proud.
China
has decided to build its own neutron source facility -
the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). Dongguan has been chosen as the site to host the facility, which
is why we choose the city as the location for ICANS-XVIII.
It is the tradition of ICANS to cooperate and support
each other, by hosting this meeting we hope to
advance neutron science and to further strengthen
cooperation between and among the member laboratories.
You
are warmly welcome to ICANS
XVIII！
Jie
Wei
Chairman,
ICANS XVIII
