ORGANIZING INSTITUTIONS
National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA)
DENIM XV is organized by the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA) through the Argentine Neutron Beam Laboratory (LAHN), with the support of the International Society of Neutron Instrument Engineers (ISNIE), a community that currently includes more than 300 specialists from 23 laboratories, universities, and other neutron research institutes across the world involved in the design, operation, and support of neutron infrastructure and instrumentation. Since 1950, the National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA) has been the main public body dedicated to R&D in the peaceful uses of nuclear technology. Its main activities include:
-
Development of nuclear technology and the nuclear fuel cycle
-
Basic and applied scientific research
-
Applications of nuclear technology
-
Human resource training
-
Technical support for nuclear power plants
Argentine Neutron Beam Laboratory (LAHN)
The Argentine Neutron Beam Laboratory (LAHN) will be the first world-class facility in Latin America to offer neutron techniques, becoming a scientific and technological hub for the creation of knowledge, innovation, and technological development.
-
Research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) in neutron techniques and instrumentation for continuous and pulsed sources
-
Applications of neutron scattering and imaging across a wide range of disciplines
-
Ensuring the sustainability of the facility and its instruments throughout the LAHN life cycle, in accordance with world-class standards
-
Operation of a user-oriented, large-scale research infrastructure
International Society of Neutron Instrument Engineers (ISNIE)
The International Society of Neutron Instrument Engineering (ISNIE) is a community of practice which brings together technical, scientific and administrative personnel involved in the design, operation or support of neutron scattering instruments and/or infrastructure.
