CCP13 in Fibre Diffraction and Solution Scattering

Termination of CCP13

CCP13 was a hugely successful software project that started in January 1992.

In addition to developing useful software for the analysis of SAS and fibre data, CCP13 spawned the journal Fibre Diffraction Review, and acted as a global lynch pin for the community.

In 2005 the UK research councils responsible for CCP13 withdrew any prospect of continuation funding.  Since that time members of the last Steering Committee have been working to secure CCP13's legacy for future generations of scatterers.  In this they have had some success.

Much of the content of the CCP13 website has been transferred to a new server based at the Diamond Light Source, and new domain names have been secured thanks to the generosity of Diamond and the ISIS Neutron Source.

There is, as yet, no funding to continue developing software, but there are limited resources to maintain the existing archive.  Instead it is hoped to make the original CCP13 source code available to skilled developers in the community as necessary, on the understanding that they redistribute any improvements.

The new website is called "Software for small-angle scattering" and we hope that it will become a one-stop shop for your SAS software and SAS resource needs.

You have a choice of URL's to bookmark (they both point to the same site!):



If you have SAS-related software, workshops or other resources that you would like the website to promote, please get in touch.

With our best regards,
