Data analysis

Data analysis is supported through user training which is provided at the AINSE Neutron Scattering Winter School (http://www.ainse.edu.au/events2/winter_schools).

Data Correction and Reduction

Data correction and reduction is provided by the Kowari instrument scientists, but if desired users are able to perform this task with the following tools:

ANSTO has developed GumTree which can be downloaded from http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GUMTREE/Downloads.

This software package provides a variety of functionality including visualizing, correcting and reducing experiment data.

For support, contact the Kowari instrument scientists: kowari@ansto.gov.au

Data Access

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering promotes access to data collected during scientific experiments. Read more about Data Archiving.

Access to data is available at ANSTO during the 3 year embargo period via the following options:

Login to https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au where you can search through your data and download as required.
Access a secure copy at scp.nbi.ansto.gov.au using a client such as FileZilla (see http://filezilla-project.org/download.php) or winSCP (see http://winscp.net/eng/download.php).

If you are unable to login, contact the user office: user.office@ansto.gov.au.

It is ANSTO policy that after a 3 year embargo period, data becomes publicly accessible. This can be viewed as "Public Experiments" at https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au. Metadata relating to the experimental data is copied to Research Data Australia http://researchdata.ands.org.au. In encouraging this practice ANSTO has helped many researchers forge new collaborations.
