History of ICANS

ICANS was founded by a group of scientists in 1977, and links over 15 facilities worldwide, providing a forum for

scientists and engineers to discuss and share information on the progress and developments in reactor- and

accelerator-based neutron sources. John M. Carpenter (Argonne National Laboratory), Rex G. Fluharty (Los Alamos

Scientific Laboratory), Leo C. W. Hobbis (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) and Motoharu Kimura (Tohoku University

and the Japanese National Laboratory for High Energy Physics, KEK), formulated the goals and structure of the

collaboration, focussing on the subjects of accelerator development, source (target) and moderator development,

and neutron scattering instrumentation development. ICANS has the following goals:

• to facilitate the exchange of technical information;

• to provide for review of results and designs;

• to reduce duplication of efforts;

• to identify areas for collaborative efforts, and;

• to provide means for informing participants about plans for activities relating to pulsed and steady

spallation source development.

Driving in Oxford: People in England drive on the left side of the road. When crossing a street, always make sure you

look to the right! The stoplights in Oxford flash yellow just before they turn green. This means to check to the left and

right for pedestrians and make sure it's safe, and then you can go. Drivers must stop for pedestrians at marked

pedestrian crossings, but walkers should always look in both directions to make sure drivers are stopping before

crossing the road. There are many bicyclers on the roads in Oxford. Drivers must give them enough room, as they

have the right to share the road.
