NCNR User Group
The NCNR User Group provides input to management regarding user concerns, provides a forum for keeping the community informed about issues impacting users at the NCNR, and serves as an advocacy group for neutron scattering science. Membership in the NCNR User Group is open to all users and potential users of the various neutron facilities at the NCNR and to scientists and engineers engaged in operation and development of these facilities.
Executive Committee
The NCNR User Group Executive Committee meets remotely on a regular basis, usually monthly, and NCNR users are strongly
encouraged to contact members of the committee with comments, questions, or suggestions related to their experience at the NCNR.
The committee will discuss user input at its regular meetings and engage in a dialog with NCNR management to address user
concerns. In the end, the committee can only represent you to the extent that you communicate with us.
