Items related to the development, application, and discussion of the Neutron Depth Profiling technique
(and... https://www.facebook.com/marcconference/)
(MARC XIV is scheduled to March 26-31, 2028 )
ABSTRACT DEADLINE; To be Announced this fall!!
The location of the conference will be at the
Courtyard King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel in downtown Kona, Hawaii.
Of special note: Papers and Posters using the NDP technique are welcome.
One branch of nuclear analytical methods involves the use of collimated neutron beams for non-destructive analysis and characterization of materials. Neutron beam energies can range from fast neutrons as produced by neutron generators for in-field applications, or produced by stationary neutron sources such as a research nuclear reactor delivering either thermal or cold neutron beam for a highly-sensitive material probe. A recent successful application of neutron beam technology is the characterization of lithium content and movement inside a Li-ion battery to assist in energy storage studies. The development and application of neutron-based instrumentation and methods are welcome in this session, which includes, but is not limited to, neutron depth profiling, prompt gamma neutron activation analysis, neutron imaging, etc. Use of neutron generators, advanced sensors, and other instrumentation are also invited to this session.
A very good colleague of mine recently brought this "N.D.P" wine to my attention.
The label on the reverse side of the bottle states:
Built in 1163 in Paris, France, “Notre Dame de Paris” Cathedral is one of the world’s major historical monuments. After facing many damages throughout the centuries and most particularly a devastating fire in April 2019, the Cathedral remains more than ever alive. This N.D.P. curvée is a tribute to this exceptional monument and its history.
This red blend offers an intensive fruit and lots of smoothness and richness to the palate. Just as “Notre Dame de Paris”, this Curvée is a blend of traditional style and typical character.
So, if you have the opportunity after a long and successful day of performing NDP measurements, I say to you!!!

Below is an interesting graph from Google's Ngram Viewer showing the use of the phrase "neutron depth profiling" in books/literature. I strongly suspect the low-frequency use of the phrase after about 1998 is because the common term for the technique is "NDP" in recent documents. The search term "NDP" will not work in the search on Ngram Viewer because "NDP" is also an abbreviation for several other phrases unrelated to neutron depth profiling.
