COMPRES Fifth Annual Meeting
• Identify and broaden the EAR neutron Identify and broaden the EAR neutron scattering community in the U.S.scattering community in the U.S.
• Stimulate and promote the use of Stimulate and promote the use of neutron scattering in the Earth neutron scattering in the Earth Sciences.Sciences.
• Support educational activities Support educational activities • Identify needs of the community, Identify needs of the community,
including future requirements for including future requirements for instrumentation and sourcesinstrumentation and sources
• Financial assistance tFinancial assistance to carry out neutron scattering experiments and/or to participate in workshops and conferences on neutron scattering

Recent projects:Recent projects:
Neutron Initiative in Compres II?Neutron Initiative in Compres II?
• Travel support will continue – to be administered by COMPRES Central
• Form high-pressure neutron “task-force” made up members of the COMPRES community, experienced neutron researchers and representatives from neutron facilities(i) form high-pressure neutron network for exchange of information between high-pressure neutron facilities within the United States (LANSCE, IPNS, HIFR, SNS) and from around the world (ISIS, ILL, J-PARC) (ii) identify community needs and nurture infrastructure development projects and / or grand challenges as(iii) target, where appropriate, additional resources through which to leverage COMPRES funds
New projects such as . . . • Temperature measurement using neutron reasonance
spectroscopy (synergy with high P-T calibration effort)
• Software development for on-line / off-line evaluation and processing of data (synergy with CEAD)
