DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jitendra Mata (ANSTO)\nThe double-crystal ultra-smal
 l-angle neutron scattering (USANS) diffractometer KOOKABURRA at ANSTO was 
 made available for user experiments in 2014. KOOKABURRA allows the charact
 erisation of microstructures covering length scales in the range of 0.1–
 20 µm. Use of the first- and second-order reflections coming off a doubly
  curved highly oriented mosaic pyrolytic graphite pre-monochromator at a f
 ixed Bragg angle\, in conjunction with two interchangeable pairs of Si(111
 ) and Si(311) quintuple-reflection channel-cut crystals\, permits operatio
 n of the instrument at two individual wavelengths\, 4.74 and 2.37 Å (see 
 more details https://www.ansto.gov.au/our-facilities/australian-centre-for
 -neutron-scattering/neutron-scattering-instruments/kookaburra). This uniqu
 e feature among reactor-based USANS instruments allows optimal accommodati
 on of a broad range of samples\, both weakly and strongly scattering\, in 
 one sample setup [1\,2]. The versatility and capabilities of KOOKABURRA ha
 ve already resulted in a number of research papers\, including studies on 
 hard matter systems like rocks and coal [3\,4]\, as well as soft matter sy
 stems like hydrogels or milk [5\,6]. This clearly demonstrates that this i
 nstrument has a major impact in the field of large-scale structure determi
 nation. Some of the recent examples will be presented here. \n\nReferences
