Next Scheduling Periods
- September - December 2020 (I/20)
- May - August 2021 (I/21)
- September - December 2021 (II/21)
Available Instruments
The following instruments will be either fully or partially available in cycle I/21:*
| Powder Diffractometer | HRPT |
|---|---|
| Single Crystal Diffractometer | ZEBRA |
| Strain Scanner | POLDI |
| Small Angle Scattering | SANS-I |
| Triple Axis Spectrometers | TASP, EIGER |
| Time-of-Flight Spectrometer | FOCUS |
| Neutron Imaging | NEUTRA, ICON |
| N-Microscope (experimental option on POLDI and ICON)* |
* Please note:
- The powder diffractometer DMC, the reflectometer AMOR and the triple-axis spectrometer CAMEA (replacement of former RITA-II) are undergoing major upgrades and thereafter the respective commissioning phase. We aim to include them into the call for proposals II-21 (September-December 2021).
- The Neutron Microscope is an experimental setup that can be used on the two instruments POLDI and ICON. If you intend to use the microscope setup, please submit your proposal for ICON or 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.
