NeXus workshop
Mark Koennecke
May 10 - 12 2010
This is to announce that a NeXus workshop will be held at PSI
from Monday, May 10 till Wednesday, May 12 2010. NeXus is a
data format for neutron, X-ray and muon scattering based on HDF-5.
It adds to HDF-5 rules for storing data and dictionaries of
meaningful names for data items. The purpose of this workshop is
twofold:
- Disseminate detailed knowledge about the NeXus data format
- Discuss and develop the application of NeXus at synchrotron
light sources.
In a sense this workshop is a followup to the recent HDF-5 as
hyperspectral dataformat held at ESRF.

This workshop is to go into more detail and come up with:
- A wishlist of things to consider for the NeXus International
Advisory Committee
- A set of synchrotron specific application definitions.
The intended audience for this workshop are facility scientists and
computing staff from synchrotrons who have have an interest to
learn
more about NeXus and use it a synchrotron light sources. The
general
part of the workshop can be of interest to other NeXus users too.
Particiaption is free but due to space contraints we can only accept
30
participants. Registration is now open through our WWW-site:
