Life on board ESS

ESS Scandinavia team have had a successful week at the International Conference on Neutron Scattering, ICNS, in Knoxville. Our exhibition material first got stuck in the US customs but when it finally arrived and was set up, scattered visitors gathered around our booth refrESShing themselves with our Swedish spring water. We've been talking to a lot of visitors, promoting the multilateral European ambition to develop and build the world's next generation neutron source. We've handed out all our publications and booklets describing ESS Scandinavia's work to achieve this. People also showed great interest, turning the pages all week, in the new book "Experimental Neutron Scattering" written by Colin Carlile and B.T.M Willis (Oxford University Press).

Numerous apples of ESSS knowledge were eaten and the ISIS director Andrew Taylor seemed amused by the ESSS Garden of Eden atmosphere. Even the conference T-shirts, worn by our Swedish/Danish ESSS staff, have caused people to queue and sign up on a list in order to get one.

Something's coming, something good!
