Welcome to the website of the
Société Française de la Neutronique
The SFN is a learned society created in 1994 to promote neutronics within the scientific community and to federate the French neutronics community, covering a wide range of scientific fields (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.).
Every year, it organises the Journées de la Diffusion Neutronique, during which it awards its thesis prize to a young scientist.
Thematic Schools are held regularly, with courses published and freely accessible.
Finally, this website is at your disposal: it provides a forum for exchanging information about neutronics. Don’t hesitate to contact us and provide new ideas of contents!
SFN documents
The SFN has drawn up a text calling for an ambitious French policy for neutron scattering. This text has been sent in 2023 to the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the CNRS and the CEA.
A ‘table ronde’ about HiCANS and the ICONE project took place during the JDN2023 in Erquy.
Bulletin SFN-2FDN
The latest SFN-2FDN monthly newsletter is now available!
This newsletter is dedicated to the community of neutron scattering users. It is co-edited by 2FDN and SFN.

Particle in a box: From textbook to real life example
The study of confined particles is at the heart of any quantum physics textbook, including examples of particles moving in a harmonic oscillator potential well and of particles trapped in a box. Studying these examples constitutes a starting block to deepen our understanding of the quantum dynamics of more realistic systems.
