8th Conference on Neutron Scattering

Neutron scattering is an indispensable tool for probing structure and dynamics in condensed matter, encompassing a wide multidisciplinary research spectrum. The high penetrating power, simultaneous sensing capabilities of both light and heavy atoms, isotope sensitivity, comparable wavelength/energy to the atomic length scale/basic excitations in materials, capability of measuring atomic magnetic moment etc. have made thermal neutron a unique probe for characterization of materials. The current neutron scattering activity in the country is centred around the indigenously built Dhruva research reactor, at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, under the National Facility for Neutron Beam Research (NFNBR) program.

We cordially invite you to attend the 8th Conference on Neutron Scattering (CNS2026), being organized by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in association with Neutron Scattering Society of India (NSSI) at Anushaktinagar, Mumbai during December 3-5, 2026. The Conference on Neutron Scattering is a recurring event, organized by Solid State Physics Division, BARC in a period of 4-5 years. Aim of this conference is to discuss the recent advances in condensed matter physics research using neutron scattering and current developments on neutron instruments and facilities.

It is a great pleasure to welcome scientists working in the area of Neutron Scattering from all over the world to share their scientific results, experiences and achievements in the field. We also invite young researchers and students to present their results. The conference will cover neutron scattering studies in advanced magnetism, structure and dynamics, soft matter, nanostructured materials and thin films. The conference comprises invited talks and short presentations.

Last Date for abstract submission is extended till 7th october 2026
