SINQ - performance of the new neutron guide system
In a recent open access article in "Neutron News" the performance of the new neutron delivery system after the SINQ upgrade has been described. Neutron flux gain factors between 2 and more than 10 have been measured at the various cold neutron instruments at SINQ.....
First Components of ESTIA arrive at ESS
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is currently under construction in Lund, Sweden and is set to become the most powerful neutron source in Europe and world-wide. The PSI-ESS project is delivering state-of-the-art contributions to five instruments at ESS, which will be home to a suite of 15 novel instruments. Among the five PSI instruments, the reflectometer ESTIA stands out as it is delivered in its entirety by PSI ...
Nanomonde magnétique
Au PSI, les chercheurs sont confrontés à des phénomènes exotiques tels que les aimants frustrés et les nanotourbillons, qui pourraient un jour permettre de stocker les données plus efficacement.
L’eau et les aimants quantiques partagent la physique du point critique
À haute pression, l'eau liquide et la vapeur d'eau fusionnent - la frontière de phase disparaît. Les chercheurs ont maintenant découvert un comportement similaire dans un aimant quantique.
