NIAG - Neutron Imaging and Activation Group

The NIAG is a group within the spallation neutron source division ASQ , Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), department research with neutrons and muons NUM . NIAG is responsible for 2 neutron imaging facilities and activation services available for users from scientific institutions and industry. Neutron radiography is complementary to X-ray radiography due to differences in radiation matter interaction. Neutrons interact with the atomic nucleus, whereas X-ray's as electromagnetic radiation rather interact with the electrons.

Imaging Facilities
NEUTRA	Radiography / tomography with thermal Maxwellian spectrum	Optional 320kV X-ray tube, NEURAP setup for highly activated samples.
ICON	Radiography / tomography with cold neutron spectrum	Micro-tomography, Energy selective imaging, Grating interferometry.
Activation
NIS	Neutron irradiation services	Neutron activation / Isotope production

Industrial Services

Neutron imaging and activation for proprietary use are offered on a commercial base. Please contact the NIAG industry responsible or PSI Technology Transfer.
