      abstract     = {Neutron single crystal diffraction has a few distinct
                      differences compared to its x-ray counterpart. The neutron
                      beam typically has a much larger diameter, on the order of
                      mm and not µm as with x-rays. Also, the beam divergence is
                      of the order of 0.7° and not mrad. Another aspect is that
                      the detectors are different and may have cylindrical- or
                      banana-like shape which is usually not found with x-ray
                      diffractometers. Not to mention the relatively high
                      incoherent scattering background from the crystals, which is
                      also not so well-known in x-ray crystallography. These
                      differences lead to a more delicate background substraction
                      and larger sized Bragg spots really deviating from a simple
                      circular shape. These differences cry for software
                      well-adapted to, or written especially for, the neutron as a
                      probe. But the majority of data reduction software for
                      integration of the Bragg spots to yield the intensities of
                      the respective Bragg peaks is written for the x-ray case. In
                      most cases it is not open source software and only some
                      publications indicate what it actually does with the data
                      and how. Data reduction software especially written for
                      single crystal neutron diffraction is often very old and
                      inconvenient to use. To overcome these issues, Eric
                      Pellegrini and Laurent Chapon initiated in 2013 the
                      development of a software project called NSXTool which was
                      further joined by Jonathan Fisher (MLZ) in 2016. NSXTool
                      primarly targets the D19@ILL and BIODIFF@MLZ instruments but
                      the framework has been designed to handle any instrument
                      based on a 2D detector. The basic idea of the software is to
                      provide the whole workflow for standard single crystal data
                      reduction which consists in 1. data reading 2. peak search
                      3. peak indexing 4. space group determination 5. peak
                      integration 5. statistics computation. First results of some
                      test data sets are shown in this presentation and a
                      benchmark against the existing software HKL2000 at BIODIFF
                      is discussed.},
