SNS-HFIR User Group
The SNS-HFIR User Group (SHUG) consists of all persons interested in using the neutron scattering facilities at Oak Ridge. It provides input to the management on user concerns, provides a forum for keeping the entire community informed of issues and progress at these facilities, and serves as an advocacy group for neutron scattering science at these facilities.
The initial bylaws for SHUG were adopted at the first SNS user meeting in the fall of 1998. The Executive Committee (EC) for SHUG was nominally formed in the summer of 1999 and had its first meeting by conference call in January of 2000. Officers were elected in April of 2000.
Membership in the SHUG is automatically granted to those who are named as a principal investigator or team member on proposals submitted to the Neutron Sciences Directorate’s (NScD) Integrated Proposal Tracking System (IPTS). Membership does not expire but a user may opt out by unsubscribing from the mailing list. New SHUG members are automatically added to the SHUG mailing list that is updated at least every six months.
