Abstract
The Neutron School for Young Scientists in Japan, the seventh in a continuing series, was held both at JAERI, with reactor-based neutrons, and at KENS, with accelerator-based pulsed neutrons, from October 21-25, 2002. The Japanese Society for Neutron Science (JSNS), which was newly established in 2001, organized this school for the second time. Until last year, the neutron school was always held in summer; therefore, it was called the Neutron Summer School. Since KENS is usually in a scheduled shutdown in July and August, the educational experiments at KENS were available only once out of six neutron schools. This is the reason why the school was held in October this year in order to use pulsed neutrons.
