Please note that participants must be registered for ICNS-2025 to attend. Registration for the symposium is now open at the following link: https://indico.ess.eu/event/3704/ A current bottleneck in maximizing the outcomes of magnetic and polarized SANS experiments is a lack of a common, robust, maintained, and intuitive data analysis tool. The aim of this mini-symposium is to identify constraints and define missing functionality in existing analysis programs with a view to preparing for their implementation into SasView. Several improvements to the handling and simulation of magnetic scattering patterns in SasView have recently been implemented, including upgrades to the Generic Scattering Calculator tool, and the integration of additional slicer (ROI) options. But future developments might include, for example, features dedicated to the analysis of 2D/3D images, independent nuclear and magnetic fitting models, the simultaneous fitting of multiple cross-sections, or Reverse Monte Carlo techniques. Some of this functionality may also be of interest to other communities generating quasi-crystalline or anisotropic data such as Rheo-SAS and SAS-Tomography. A goal of this mini-symposium is to identify that functionality with the broadest impact. Interested participants are therefore cordially invited you to join us for an afternoon of short presentations and topical discussions designed to help identify the future opportunities for advancing the analysis of these systems. On behalf of the SasView developers’ team, Paul Butler, Stephen King, Wojtek Potrzebowski, and Annika Stellhorn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From users at lists.sasview.org Sat Mar 22 14:11:25 2025 From: users at lists.sasview.org (Stephen King - STFC UKRI via users) Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2025 18:11:25 +0000 Subject: [SasView Users] New SasView Release (6.0.1) & Upcoming Workshops Message-ID: Dear Members of the SasView Users List, We hope you have had a productive start to 2025. We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we have just released an update to SasView, SasView 6.0.1, available as usual through the SasView website. This is a minor release but fixing some bugs in 6.0.0., including several associated with plotting. For those that prefer to build their installation from source (eg, Linux users), SasView is now also available through Flatpak. We regret we are still unable to provide a conda distribution for SasView 6.x, but work is in progress to develop wheels available on PyPI. This work is anticipated to be part of the next release slated for June 2025. In other news, SasView contributors from the Magnetic SANS community are organising two events later this year which may be of interest to some of you: * The first is a mini-symposium on “Magnetic SAS Data Analysis – State-of-the-Art and Future Improvements”, which will take place during the ICNS-2025 conference on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark; * The second is a SasView Contributor Camp to be hosted by TU Munich, Garching, Germany between November 11-18th, 2025. This will largely follow the format of the hugely successful Camp in Delaware last year, but with more of a focus on the needs of the Magnetic SAS and allied communities (ie, those SAS users producing more complex data than isotropic powder patterns). Thank you for your continued support! And, as ever, if you would like to get involved, please see https://www.sasview.org/contribute/ for further information.
