Fundamental and applied condensed matter research with neutrons at forschungszentrum juelich (fzj) for european users

Objective

Description:

Forschungszentrum Jülich is operating a 20 MW heavy water moderated reactor. The neutron flux in the moderator is 10^14 n/cm^2/s. Among the currently operated 16 instruments five are located in the reactor hall and use thermal neutrons: diffractometers (powder and 4-circle), triple-axis spectrometers and a time-of-flight spectrometer. A cold source using liquid hydrogen is placed close to the maximum flux and supplies the instruments in the neutron guide hall via three neutronguides. The instruments using cold neutrons comprise small-angle scattering (SANS) instruments, reflectometer, time-of-flight spectrometer (with polarisation), backscattering spectrometer, neutronspin echo spectrometer, and several special purpose instruments. One of the small-angle instruments is based on mirror optics which enables a ten times higher resolution than ordinary SANS. The neutron spin echospectrometer is using a sophisticated field correction allowing a large solid angle on a two-dimensional position sensitive detector. It is therefore especially suited for low scattering intensity experiments(e.g. incoherent scattering). All instruments of the facility are accessible within this project. The total beam time offered under this programme is 45 instrument-weeks per year.

Application:

The application procedure is designed to reduce the time between proposal and execution of an experiment. There are three deadlines per year and a fast access path for exceptionally promising applications. The complete refereeing procedure is done by electronic communication. All information about the facility and access conditions is available on the internet web site: proposal forms, deadlines, instrument characteristics etc. In addition calls for proposals will be published in Neutron News and sent out by e-mail.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
