DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stephen Holt (Australian Nuclear Science and Technol
 ogy Organisation)\nPLATYPUS is the initial neutron reflectometer at the Au
 stralian Centre for Neutron Scattering with a capability to study surfaces
  and interface systems ranging from biomolecules\, soft matter through to 
 magnetic thin films [1-3]. There have been a number of significant improve
 ments to both the instrument and data reduction and treatment software [4]
  over the last two years. On the hardware front the original detector has 
 been replaced [5] enabling higher count rate capabilities\, greater detect
 ion efficiency at shorter wavelengths and significantly lower background. 
 The slits which define the neutron beam have been replaced with upgraded p
 ositioning mechanisms enabling greater flexibility in experimental setup. 
 These changes have significantly enhanced the instrument performance with 
 improved reproducibility.\n\n[1] M. James et al.\, J. Neutron Research 14\
