- May - August 2022 (I/22)
- September - December 2022 (II/22)
Available Instruments
The following instruments will be either fully or partially available in cycle I/22:*
| Powder Diffractometer | HRPT |
|---|---|
| Single Crystal Diffractometer | ZEBRA |
| Strain Scanner | POLDI |
| Small Angle Scattering | SANS-I |
| Triple Axis Spectrometers | TASP, EIGER |
| Multiplexing Spectrometer | CAMEA |
| Time-of-Flight Spectrometer | FOCUS |
| Neutron Imaging and Optics | NEUTRA, ICON, BOA |
| MuPAD (experimental option on TASP) | |
| N-Microscope (experimental option on POLDI, ICON and BOA)* |
* Please note:
- The powder diffractometer DMC and the reflectometer AMOR are undergoing major upgrades and thereafter the respective commissioning phase. Both instruments might be available for friendly users in 2022.
- The Neutron Microscope is an experimental setup that can be used on the two instruments POLDI, ICON and BOA. If you intend to use the microscope setup, please submit your proposal for the main instrument (e.g. POLDI) and choose the option "Neutron Microscope" during the proposal submission procedure. Please discuss the choice of the instrument well ahead with the person in charge for the microscope.
- Finally, beamtime on the instrument MORPHEUS can be allocated by contacting the instrument responsible directly.
PSI launches also a call for joint X-ray and neutron proposals (SLS/MS-Powder beamline and SINQ/HRPT) in the field of powder diffraction. Detailed information can be obtained here.
