The subsection NESY of the Austrian Physical Society focuses on the research with Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation at both European as well as non-European large-scale facilities. NESY represents the interests of all scientists working in Austria and using these facilities independent on their scientific interests (physics, chemistry, materials science, geoscience, medicine, …)
NESY is in regular contact with the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) of the Austrian Government, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OEAW) international-large-scale-research. With the financial support of the BMBWF and the administrative one of the ÖAW, members of NESY take care of the memberships of Austria at the Institute Laue Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France and at the European Synchrotron Research Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France and are also involved in helping with securing the financial support for the Austrian beamlines at the synchrotron Elettra Sinchrotrone Trieste, Italy.
The thorough and careful use of beamtimes at large scale facilities for fundamental science and applied research by scientists based in Austria is accompanied by supporting and contributing to the advancement of experimental techniques via long term collaborations with scientists at these facilities. Certain dedicated beamlines like the Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) beamline in Trieste and the Neutron Interferometer Instrument S18 description/instrument-layout in Grenoble are even directly under Austrian supervision.
In addition, members of NESY organize a biennial International Winterschool for users of synchrotron and neutron radiation. Students, post-docs, and established scientists as well as representative members of European large-scale facilities meet at this Winterschool in Austria and discuss basic experimental techniques, data collection and their theoretical analysis, further instrument development at beam lines, and report recent scientific results. Furthermore, the activities of scientists using beamtime at these facilities and based at Austrian institutions are regularly reported at NESY symposia and in regular surveys (see the archive below).
NESY is a member of the European Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser User Organisation (ESUO) and of the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA).
The joint efforts of ESUO and ENSA support scientists based in Austria to perform experiments at all national European large-scale facilities, which is substantial since no suitable large scale facilities exist in Austria.
The synchrotron and XFEL (X-ray Free Electron Laser) facilities are organised within LEAPS and the neutron facilities within LENS.
