Wrap-up - Summary of Discussions

Communications to the canSAS community

The use of Google groups does seem to be satisfactory. A new mail list server has been established for SASview and this can be used also for canSAS. AJJ will migrate the existing lists and all participants at the meeting will be included on the general list and invited to join the various working group lists.

Activities from Working Group Sessions

  • Grazing Incidence Scattering


  • Data Formats


  • Multiple Scattering


  • Time-of-flight SANS Data reduction
    • A new working group co-ordinated by Anna Sokolova and Andrew Jackson has been established to resolve issues related to time-of-flight SANS data reduction. It is planned that there will be initial mail-list discussion and that a face-to-face meeting will then be arranged to resolve details of recommended procedures.


  • Software


  • Information and Dissemination
    • The advantages of provision of material and making it widely accessible mean that renewed activity in this area is required.

    • There are continued needs for activities to provide comparison of data measured with different instruments. Pressing needs were recognised in two areas that have not previously been covered: (a) for the extended Q-range covered by USAXS, USANS and SESANS and (b) for GISAS both with X-rays and neutrons.
