What is SNSS?
The Organisation
SNSS is an organisation open to all those who are using, or interested in the use of, neutron scattering techniques. There are currently about 200 members. SNSS is affiliated to the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA).
Neutron Scattering
Neutron scattering, the scattering of free neutrons by matter, can refer to either the physical process or the experimental technique which uses this process for the investigation of materials. Neutron scattering as a physical process is of primordial importance in nuclear engineering.
Membership
Become a part of a SNSS and the expansive network that has put Sweden on the neutron scattering map.
The Board
With the intention of reflecting as many of the Swedish universities active in the neutron scattering community, SNSS employs a roster of board members from universities all over Sweden.
Documents

In neutron scattering experiments, neutrons are fired at a nuclei of atoms in molecules and materials. When the uncharged particles collide with the sample material, they change direction – they scatter. This gives unique information on structure and dynamics of molecules and materials.
