All are research staff at Brookhaven National Laboratory. ORNL NEUTRON SCIENCES neutrons.ornl.gov From the SHUG chair In August 2008, SNS reached ~40% of its planned operating power, and that number continues to climb. Operations at both SNS and HFIR are becoming more and more reliable, and the number of instruments available to users is increasing.Running a smooth user program on such a large scale, and within the tightly regulated environment of the national laboratories, is a complicated task that requires close cooperation with the user community. The SNS and HFIR User Group (SHUG) Executive Committee strives to provide a direct link between users and the facilities, lobbying for the interests of users by supplying facility managers with the user perspective on various choices and needs for future development. ORNL Neutron Sciences continues to demonstrate its commitment to working with users in several ways. Funding has been provided for user support and education. Several research support programs are also in place, such as the Clifford Shull Fellowship and an extensive undergraduate summer research program. To support HFIR users, new office space has been set up, providing a pleasant and efficient work environment. In addition, the Webbased proposal management and submission system is running quite smoothly and provides users with a convenient interface for submitting their proposals. SHUG has provided input on the system throughout the development process and will continue to do so in the future. As new instruments and capabilities are being developed, user participation is paramount, particularly in the area of software development. Neutron Sciences staff strongly encourage user engagement by providing multiple feedback methods, including postexperiment surveys, direct communication with instrument scientists and User Office representatives, as well as feedback through the Neutron Sciences Web site (neutrons.ornl.gov). As a core group of users, we SHUG members must take full advantage of these opportunities to contribute to the program. Our participation will help attract new users, which is vital for the continued success of neutron science at ORNL. Wishing you success and a lot of fun in your experiments at SNS and HFIR, Igor Zaliznyak Brookhaven National Laboratory SHUG Executive Committee Chair
HFIR and SNS Complete First Full Year of Joint Operation In 2008, the big word was users! More than 400 users conducted research at SNS and HFIR. This number grew from fewer than 100 in 2007 (see graph on page 76). It was a year for tremendous development as well, with improvements being made in proposal management and user access and amenities. Proposal Management This was also the first full year of operation for the Integrated Proposal Tracking System (IPTS). The number of external proposal User Eugene Motoyama of Stanford University analyzes results of his measurements on spin correlations at the Fixed- Incident-Energy Triple-Axis Spectrometer at HFIR.
