History of ICANS
ICANS was founded by a group of scientists in 1977, and links over 15 facilities worldwide, providing a forum for
scientists and engineers to discuss and share information on the progress and developments in reactor- and
accelerator-based neutron sources. John M. Carpenter (Argonne National Laboratory), Rex G. Fluharty (Los Alamos
Scientific Laboratory), Leo C. W. Hobbis (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) and Motoharu Kimura (Tohoku University
and the Japanese National Laboratory for High Energy Physics, KEK), formulated the goals and structure of the
collaboration, focussing on the subjects of accelerator development, source (target) and moderator development,
and neutron scattering instrumentation development. ICANS has the following goals:
• to facilitate the exchange of technical information;
• to provide for review of results and designs;
• to reduce duplication of efforts;
• to identify areas for collaborative efforts, and;
• to provide means for informing participants about plans for activities relating to pulsed and steady
spallation source development.

pedestrian crossings, but walkers should always look in both directions to make sure drivers are stopping before
crossing the road. There are many bicyclers on the roads in Oxford. Drivers must give them enough room, as they
have the right to share the road.
