U.S.-JAPAN COOPERATIVE PROGRAM ON NEUTRON SCATTERING
ABSTRACT
The U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program on Neutron Scattering
was implemented through arrangements by the United States
Department of Energy with the Science and Technology Agency
(STA) and the Ministry of Science, Education, and Culture
(Monbusho) of Japan. It involves research collaboration in
neutron scattering by Japanese scientists with scientists at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Brookhaven National
Laboratory (BNL) and the construction of new neutron scattering
equipment at both laboratories with funds provided by the
Japanese government. The United States provides neutrons in
exchange for the new equipment, and other costs of the program
are equally shared by the two countries. The assignments of
Japanese scientists to ORNL and BNL vary in length, but they
correspond to about two person years annually at each labora-
tory. An equal number of U.S. scientists also participate in
the research program.
The main research collaboration is centered around the new
equipment provided by the Japanese, but other facilities are
utilized when they are needed. The new equipment includes a
new type of wide-angle diffractometer and equipment for main-
taining extreme sample environments at ORNL and a sophisticated
polarized-beam triple-axis spectrometer at BNL. This equipment
serves a variety of experimental needs and can be used for
challenging experiments that broaden the field of neutron scat-
tering. Although relatively modest in size, this program has
been highly successful. It has produced some outstanding
research, and it has also produced some very close interactions
between neutron scattering scientists in Japan and the United
States.
1. INTRODUCTION
The U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program on Neutron Scattering
was negotiated under the Agreement between the Government of
Japan and the Government of the United States of America on
Cooperation in Research and Development in Science and
Technology. This agreement was signed May 1, 1980, and the
neutron scattering program was initiated in 1982. It involves
two arrangements between the United States Department of Energy
(DOE) and appropriate organizations of the Japanese government.
