摘要：

NeXus is a data format for the exchange of neutron and synchrotron scattering data between facilities and user institutions. It has been developed by an international team of scientists and computer programmers from neutron and X-ray facilities around the world. The NeXus format uses the hierarchical data format (HDF) which is portable, binary, extensible and self-describing. The NeXus format defines the structure and contents of these HDF tiles in order to facilitate the visualization and analysis of neutron and X-ray data. In addition? an application program interface (API) is being produced in order to simplify the reading and writing of NeXus files. The details of the format are available at [http://www.neutron.anl.gov/NeXus/]. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
