Voices of past participants

Hernanie Salazar, Jr., National Sun Yat-sen University

The Neutron-Muon School provided me with valuable exposure to the neutron science work conducted at JRR-3 and J-PARC. The lectures and lab tours offered insights and techniques applicable to the facilities at JRR-3 and J-PARC, opening up possibilities for proposing new projects and research. The hands-on training provided us with an initial understanding of lab work, particularly in neutron reflectivity techniques. This experience is especially significant to me, coming from a country without a neutron science program. I will do my best to share the training and knowledge I gained from the school to help advance the field and increase its recognition in the Philippines and Taiwan.

Ling Guo, City University of Hong Kong

I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend the 8th NMS school in Japan. I gained extensive knowledge about different aspects of neutrons and muons, which will be highly beneficial for my future research career. More importantly, this training provided me with the chance to communicate with experts, allowing me to resolve many of my confusions through discussions. Of course, this journey also helped me make good friends and enjoy delicious food! 

Mayuri Kamble, UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research

I learned lot of things from this school and made good friends. All lecturer and instrument scientists were easily approachable and they help to clear our doubts. Over all I enjoyed the school and I would love come again in future. 

Peng Jia Xin, The University of Tokyo

The Neutron School was an incredible experience and the first program of its kind that I participated in. I started with almost no knowledge of neutron experiments but progressed to performing data analysis on real datasets. While there’s still much more to learn, the program offered an excellent introduction to both the theoretical and experimental aspects of neutron science. I feel inspired to further explore and conduct more neutron experiments in the future.
