Journal of Neutron Research

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Neutron Research publishes original research papers of an experimental and theoretical nature in four areas of specialisation in neutron research: Research Science with Neutrons Neutron Instrumentation and Techniques Reactor and Spallation Source Technology Neutron Simulation Tools, Data Reduction and Analysis Short workshop or conference proceedings may also be published and from time to time review articles will be considered.

While the editors encourage contributions in the above special fields, research papers and short reports in other areas of neutron science, especially those without an obvious traditional journal home, will also be considered for publication.
