A general view of the instrument The photo shows the location of IN4C in the reactor hall. The instrument itself is hidden below a heavy concret shielding.

One of the choppers The inside of the detector tank Some parts of the instrument When the shielding is open for maintenance, one can see the choppers, the inside of the detector tank and even the focu

Simulated experiment A polychromatic (white), neutron beam is partially monochromatised by the two counter-rotating disc choppers, generating a packet of neutrons which then falls upon the monochromat

From IN5 to IN5B IN5B is a fully redesigned instrument with many improvements which can be summarized in a single number: 60 time more intensity. This IN5 renaissance went through complexe mechanical

Working on the instrument This video was recorded on Oct, 2006 during an experiment intitled "Light-induced biological-function related dynamics in bacteriorhodopsin (purple membrane)". The unusual en

A simulated experiment Basics of the so called time-focussing technique Three intense neutron beams are extracted from a neutron guide by an assembly of three monochromators and are focused horizontal

Simulated experiment The animation shows the typical measuring strategy of a three axis spectrometer like IN8. The monochromator selects a beam of neutrons in a narrow energy band. The analyser is pos

A general view of the instrument This drawing shows the instrument IN11 in its setup C (see the layout).

Applications IN11 is primarily used to study slow relaxation phenomena in polymers, glasses, complex liquids or magnetic materials. Elastic paramagnetic scattering may be studied as well by polarizati
