Fisk Fest 8/15/01 Neutrons in the 21 century Chemical and magnetic structure at the interfaces of nano- scale artificially structured systems Excitations in materials patterned on the nano-scale Protein structure (including D-positions) and dynamics Complete 4 D Q-E mapping of dynamic correlation function for spin and lattice in large single crystals 0<E<100 meV Systematic access to order parameters of weak or complex broken symmetry phases Inelastic neutron scattering as a super-susceptometer for screening new materials Parametric and complete information about structure of matter under extreme conditions

Fisk Fest 8/15/01 Conclusions Neutrons are great but we don’t have enough yet New sources and instrumentation should produce a renaissance for the technique New facilities must be easily accessible to non- neutron-experts to broaden the science program
