ANTARES: Cold neutron radiography and tomography facility
The neutron imaging facility ANTARES, operated by the Technische Universität München, is located at the cold neutron beam port SR-4a. Based on a pinhole camera principle with a variable collimator located close to the beam port, the facility provides the possibility for flexible use in high resolution and high flux imaging
NEPOMUC: Neutron induced positron source Munich
NEPOMUC, operated by the Technische Universität München and the Universität der Bundeswehr München, provides a high-intensity low-energy positron beam for applications in solid state and surface physics as well as for fundamental research in nuclear and atomic physics. The intensity amounts to > 109 moderated positrons per second at a beam energy of E = 1 keV
STRESS-SPEC: Materials science diffractometer
In response to the development of new materials and the application of materials and components in new technologies the direct measurement, calculation and evaluation of textures and residual stresses has gained worldwide significance in recent years. STRESS-SPEC, the materials science diffractometer, which is jointly operated by the Technische Universität München, the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, Technische Universität Clausthal and by GEMS, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, is located at the thermal beam port SR-3 of the FRM II and can easily be configured either for texture analysis or strain measurements
KWS-1: Small-angle scattering diffractometer
The KWS-1, which is operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, is a small-angle neutron scattering diffractometer dedicated to high resolution measurements
POLI: Polarised hot neutron diffractometer
POLI, which is operated by the Institute of Crystallography, RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, is a versatile two axes single crystal diffractometer with broad field of applications. Mostly dedicated to the investigation of magnetic structures in single crystals using neutron spin polarisation, POLI is also used for classical structural investigations under extreme conditions. High intensity hot neutrons flux makes it attractive also for the other applications like study of parity violations phenomena in nuclear physics or BNCT (boron neutron-capture therapy) in medicine
PANDA: Cold three axes spectrometer
The cold three axes spectrometer PANDA, operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, offers high neutron flux over a large dynamic range keeping the instrumental background comparably low
REFSANS: Reflectometer and evanescent wave small angle neutron spectrometer
The horizontal reflectometer REFSANS, operated by GEMS, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, was designed to enable specular reflectometry as well as grazing incidence neutron scattering studies of both solid samples and liquid-air interfaces
SPODI: High resolution powder diffractometer
The high resolution powder diffractometer SPODI (jointly operated by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Technische Universität München) is designed for structure solution and Rietveld refinement of crystal and magnetic structural parameters on polycrystalline powders. Instrumental specification (design, flexibility, peak shape, resolution etc.) as well as a variety of specialized sample environment equipment implemented for in-situ materials characterisation make the instrument attractive for studies of complex ordering phenomena.
SPHERES: Backscattering spectrometer
SPHERES (SPectrometer for High Energy RESolution), operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, is a third-generation neutron backscattering spectrometer with focussing optics and a phase-space-transform chopper. It enables the investigation of atomic and molecular dynamics with an energy resolution of about 0.65 μeV in a dynamic range of ± 31 μeV
Research Vessel POSEIDON
The research vessel POSEIDON, operated by GEOMAR Kiel, is an important research platform for the marine science community. The knowledge gained from ocean expeditions contributes to a better understanding of the biological, physical, geological and chemical processes in the ocean
