Determining layer thickness Neutrons are no longer reflected from a single surface but from two semi-transparent surfaces. The reflectivity curve still has a total reflection plateau but the descendin

Deformations and diffraction Measuring residual stress via diffraction relies on a tight correlation between macroscopic deformations (the concern of engineers) and the variation of diffraction angles

The stress scanner Measuring residual stress in a material amounts to making a map of its local deformations. Just like a medical scanner makes an image of the human body interior, what is sought here

An advanced neutron strain analyser SALSA is designed for actually performing diffraction measurements on "real" engineering components and is optimised for stress determination in metallic components

28th November 2018: Madrid, Spain – the Institut Laue-Langevin, the world’s flagship neutron facility, is uniting researchers and industry from across Spain to highlight the country’s increasing influ

The Nuclear and Particle Physics Group (NPP) operates four instruments, two being dedicated to nuclear physics and applied nuclear physics aspects, while the others cover mainly neutron particle physi

Simulated experiment SuperADAM operates as a fixed wavelength neutron reflectometer The neutron beam from the cold neutron guide H521 arrives at the monochromator which selects a narrow wavelength ban

A simulated experiment The incoming polychromatic neutron beam (wavelength around 2.2 Å) is backscattered on the monochromator (Bragg reflexion on a crystal lattice) with a high monochromaticity (ener

Working at PN1-Lohengrin This film was shot in the RED magnet housing on 28 May 2007, i.e. between experiment 3-01-498 (Beta-gamma spectroscopy of very neutron-rich Ge, As and Se isotopes) and experim

Sorting particles with PN1 The role of a recoil spectrometer is to sort and recognize the nuclei fragments ejected from the sample very soon after fission, because the lifetime of fission products is
