NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to devlop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus-files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been redesigned…

The NeXus format allows the storage of measured data next to a description of sample and instrument setup in a standardized manner. The NeXus standard itself gives only general rules how an instrument setup is described. A so called…

Although originally designed by and for the use of the Neutron and X-ray communities, the flexibility of the NeXus data format makes it equally suitable for storing data gathered from MuSR experiments. Furthermore, its use should open up…

New generations of neutron scattering sources and instrumentation are providing challenges in data handling for user software. Time-of-Flight instruments used at pulsed sources typically produce hundreds or thousands of channels of data for…

Scientific data across physics, materials science, and materials engineering often lacks adherence to FAIR principles (Barker et al., 2022; Jacobsen et al., 2020; M. D. Wilkinson et al., 2016; S. R. Wilkinson et al., 2025) due to…

We present algorithmic improvements to the loading operations of certain reduced data ensembles produced from neutron scattering experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) facilities. Ensembles from multiple measurements are…

Among liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) experiments MicroBooNE is the one that continually took physics data for the longest time (2015-2021), and represents the state of the art for reconstruction and analysis with this…

The Mars Perseverance Rover represents a generational change in the scale of measurements that can be taken on Mars, however this increased resolution introduces new challenges for techniques in exploratory data analysis. The multiple…

In Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), proton beam is used to hit metal tungsten target, and then high flux neutrons are generated for experiments on instruments. For neutron flux spectrum correction, boron-coated GEM, lithium glass…

We introduce NebulOS, a Big Data platform that allows a cluster of Linux machines to be treated as a single computer. With NebulOS, the process of writing a massively parallel program for a datacenter is no more complicated than writing a…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) experimental neutron science facilities produce 1.2\,TB a day of raw event-based data that is stored using the standard metadata-rich NeXus schema built on top of the HDF5 file format. Performance of…

Nuclear fission reactors are abundant sources of antineutrinos. The flux and spectrum of antineutrinos emitted by a reactor can indicate its activity and composition, suggesting potential applications of neutrino measurements beyond…

Recently PANalytical introduced the XrdML file format as a new data platform for powder diffraction experiments. We will explain why an industrial standard (XML) was chosen and show the XML schema used to precisely describe the instrumental…

The new generation of dedicated Engineering Strain Scanners at neutron facilities such as ENGIN-X at ISIS and SMARTS at LANSCE offer considerable increases in both the throughput of samples and the density of measurements which are feasible…

The rapid adoption of 5G New Radio (NR), particularly in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, imposes stringent demands on the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of baseband processing. While virtualized Radio Access Networks…

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), located at Oak Ridge Laboratory in the United States, will be coming online over the next few years. In addition to producing fluxes of high-intensity neutrons, the interaction of the proton beam with…

Exploiting small angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) on the same sample volume at the same time provides complementary nanoscale structural information at two different contrast situations. Compared with an independent…

Being easy to learn and well suited for a self-contained desktop laboratory setup, many casual programmers prefer to use the National Instruments LabVIEW environment to develop their logic. An ActiveX interface is presented that allows…

The European Spallation Source (ESS) will provide long neutron pulses for experiments on a suite of different instruments. Most of these will perform neutron data acquisition in event mode, i.e. each detected neutron will be characterised…

MatNexus is a specialized software for the automated collection, processing, and analysis of text from scientific articles. Through an integrated suite of modules, the MatNexus facilitates the retrieval of scientific articles, processes…
