Parameters

Sample environment

• See special page for information about the Sample Environment

Position

• Guide hall, at the cold neutron guide RNR12, supermirrorguide (m=2, height 12 cm, width 2 cm)

Monochromator

• Pyrolytic Graphite (002), vertically focusing, 5 crystals of 2.5 cm height

Wavelengths

• Any wavelength between 2.3 Å and 5 Å is possible, standard wavelengths are 2.45 Å, 3.8 Å, 4.2 Å and 4.5 Å

Collimations

• Optional secondary collimation (Gd-O Soller collimators)
• Oscillating Mylar-Gd₂O₃ radial collimator system between sample and detector

Detector system

• DMC is currently being upgraded and equipped with a new high-performance ³He detector with 2D readout. It will restart operation later this year.

Instrument software

• NICOS (SINQ Instrument Control Software) for control of the measurement
• DMCpy for data reduction and data treatment
