The PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences uses neutrons and muons to explore and understand matter and materials.
PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences
The CNM center hosts 300 members of staff, in addition 40 PhD students perform their thesis work within CNM
The center is organized in 5 laboratories and 1 staff group.
CNM operates 3 of the 5 large scale user facilities: the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ, the Swiss Muon Source SμS and the facilities for particle physics CHIRSP with approximately 30 experimental stations open for users.
The facilities in the CNM center are open to international access — with approximately 1700 annual user visits the associated user program is a key activity for the center and for PSI as a whole.
