General news

Several home-made developments have been possible thanks to collaborations with the Sample Environment Group of the Laboratory for Neutron und Muon Instrumentation, and the Mesoscopic Systems Group. We support also instrumental developments at the SINQ, such as a new 5-position sample changer for operation between 1.5K and RT at the powder neutron diffractometer DMC. This device, funded by the PSI interdivisional program CROSS, is the result of collaboration between the CNM and CEE centers. It was commissioned and successfully tested in December 2018 and will be open to the SINQ user community after the restart of SINQ in 2020.
