CCP-SAS

Welcome to the site for the CCP-SAS project, a collaborative open-source software development project to provide the infrastructure and tools for analysing small angle scattering data on complex systems using atomistic and coarse grained modeling approaches. This site hosts information of interest to the broader community and links to downloads etc.
