PAQMAN
Sola Strand Hotel
PAQMAN is a workshop that aims to explore how advances in neutron scattering instrumentation (particularly polarization analysis), data analysis, and simulations can be harnessed to understand diffusion and other slow dynamics in a broad range of systems. The workshop will take place between the 2nd and 4th July, 2025, and will gather around 50 scientists for 2.5 days of presentations and discussions. Among the topics covered will be:
- Science applications
- Soft matter and liquids
- Life science and biology
- Energy materials and catalysis
- Quantum materials
- Instrumentation
- Current instrumentation
- Future projects
- Polarized wide-angle devices
- New instrument concepts
- Data analysis
- Bayesian approaches
- Single crystal QENS
- Maximum entropy method
- New concepts
- Simulations
- AIMD
- Machine-learned potentials
- Classical MD
- Comparison with experiment
PAQMAN aims to achieve:
-
More and better engagement between the instrumentation, neutron science, and simulation communities leading to better coordinated development of instruments and software tools for neutron users.
-
An improved understanding of how novel data analysis approaches and simulations can be used to gain more information from QENS data.
-
New collaborations between academics, instrument scientists, and computational scientists to deliver excellent science, and in turn, attract more users.
PAQMAN is co-organized by ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the University of Stavanger.
