Admins will be upgrading ORNL GitLab Servers on Saturday, 16 May 2026, from 7 AM until 11 AM EST. Repositories will experience intermittent outages during this time.
Welcome to the NOVA tutorial! This guide will walk you through the process of building interactive tools for **neutron analysis** using the NOVA platform. You will learn how to create a web application that leverages the NOVA libraries to simplify interaction with the Neutron Data Interpretation Platform (NDIP).
Welcome to the NOVA tutorial! This guide will walk you through the process of building interactive tools for the analysis and visualization of neutron scattering data using the NOVA platform.

## What is NDIP?
The Neutron Data Interpretation Platform (NDIP) is a workflow management system built on top of the Galaxy platform. It is designed to enable modular scientific workflows for the analysis and interpretation of **neutron data**. NDIP provides a range of services including automated data ingestion, job submission, and computational resource management, and visualization and analysis tools. The analysis of neutron data often involves complex, multi-step workflows that include data reduction, correction, analysis algorithms, and visualization. NDIP streamlines these processes by providing a platform to manage and automate these workflows, ensuring reproducibility and efficiency.

We\'ll be using example tools from neutron scattering as a demonstration for this tutorial, however, the lessons learned here can be applied to a wide variety of neutron analysis applications. This hands-on tutorial will guide you through each step of the process, empowering you to build your own interactive tools for neutron data analysis and management.
