It is a very versatile diffractometer for magnetic structure analysis. It offers several set-ups:
A high field set-up for 1D polarimetry up to 10 Tesla ; a zero-field set-up for spherical neutron polarimetry with CRYOPAD ; a non-polarized set-up for experiments requiring both short wavelengths and high magnetic fields.
High field configuration
- Magnetic form factors (reflecting the state of the magnetic ions); Magnetisation distributions
Zero-field configuration
- Non-collinear magnetic structures ; Antiferromagnetic form factors ; Spherical polarimetry
Non-polarized beam with high magnetic field
The high-field option implement a 10 Tesla cryomagnet.
The low-field option implement a third-generation CRYOPAD (CRYOgenic Polarisation Analysis Device) for precision measurement of neutron spin rotations occurring in the scattering process.
