The International Society for µSR Spectroscopy
The International Society of µSR Spectroscopy (ISMS) was formed to promote the worldwide advancement of muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (µSR)
The Society consists of regional divisions:
- Europe (including Russia), the Middle East and Africa
- North and South America (including possessions elsewhere)
- Asia (Japan, India, China, . . . ), Australia and New Zealand

The International Society of µSR Spectroscopy (ISMS)-Europe
"The large European µSR community is extremely fortunate in having free access to two major and complementary muon facilities, ISIS and PSI. However, the continuing development of advanced µSR techniques and facilities is dependent upon cooperation and collaboration between users and providers of muon beams. In this respect ISMS-Europe can, and must, play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the existing muon community and extending the use of µSR into the wider science base. Indeed, I believe that ISMS-Europe should, as its key objectives: promote µSR in the wider scientific community; liaise with muon facilities on behalf of users; explore possibilities for new facilities (eg the European Spallation Source); organise European conferences, workshops and summer schools; and coordinate activities in muon science. In order to achieve these objectives it its essential that the activities of ISMS-Europe are well structured, and for this purpose I suggest that we establish a formal ISMS-Europe Executive Committee, bringing together the regional ISMS-Europe Vice President and single delegates elected by the individual national µSR user communities within Europe. Such an Executive Committee could meet perhaps biannually with observers from the muon facilities and other interested bodies. I would be extremely pleased to hear your views on the formation of the ISMSEurope Executive Committee, or indeed on any other issues that you feel should be raised at the regional or global level ."
