More conference news from Aaron Craft. The MARC-XII (Methods & Applications of Radioanalytical Chemistry) meeting was held April 3-8, 2022 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. This international conference covered a broad array of topics centered around radiation applications and radioactive materials. Included was a Session on Neutron Imaging Technologies and Applications (Sessions 4C and 4D on the website). https://www.marcconference.org/
Session 4D. Neutron Imaging Technologies and Applications (Organized by Aaron Craft, Idaho National Laboratory, USA; Hassina Bilheux, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA; Pavel Trtik, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland; Burkhard Schillinger, Technical University, Munich, Germany; and Takenao Sinohara, J-PARC, Japan).
Aaron Craft drew everyone's attention to a Technical Meeting on Advances in Neutron Detectors for Neutron Scattering and Imaging Applications hosted by the IAEA to be held virtually via Cisco Webex from 30 August to 3 September 2021.
The purpose of the event was to review developments in neutron detectors for neutron scattering and neutron imaging applications, providing a platform for international cooperation and networking of future developments in these fields.
The IAEA announced the launch of a new Neutron Imaging E-Learning Course with registration being made via the IAEA Portal NUCLEUS.

(A) Pristine and (B) XFC-cycled graphite electrode (9C for 450 cycles). The decreasing diameter and thickness of the outer glass capillary in the images from left to right in (A) is due to its funnel-like geometry. The grayscale bar on the right has arbitrary units (a.u.) and was created using 32 bit images in ImageJ.
