Neutron, X-ray and muon Data Format

Abbreviation: NeXus

General Information

NeXus is an international standard developed by scientists and programmers worldwide to foster more collaboration and data sharing in the analysis and visualization of neutron, x-ray, and muon data. NeXus has its foundation on HDF5 and adds domain-specific rules for organizing data within HDF5 files as welll as a dictionary of well-defined domain-specific field names.

		Before: NeXus is developed as an international standard by scientists and programmers representing major scientific facilities in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America in order to facilitate greater cooperation in the analysis and visualization of neutron, x-ray, and muon data. NeXus is built on top of the scientific data format HDF5 and adds domain-specific rules for organizing data within HDF5 files in addition to a dictionary of well-defined domain-specific field names.
