NeXus is an effort by an international group of scientists to define a common data exchange and archival format for neutron, X-ray and muon experiments. 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. The NeXus data format has two purposes. First, it defines a format that can serve as a container for all relevant data associated with a beamline. This is a very important use case. Second, it defines standards in the form of application definitions for the exchange of data between applications. NeXus provides structures for raw experimental data as well as for processed data.
NeXus是一个由国际科学家团队开展的项目，旨在为中子、X射线和μ子实验定义一种通用的数据交换和存档格式。NeXus基于科学数据格式HDF5构建，除了一个定义明确的特定领域字段名称字典外，还添加了用于在HDF5文件中组织数据的特定领域规则。NeXus数据格式有两个用途。首先，它定义了一种格式，可作为与光束线相关的所有相关数据的容器。这是一个非常重要的用例。其次，它以应用程序定义的形式定义了应用程序之间数据交换的标准。NeXus为原始实验数据以及处理后的数据提供结构。
