Complex neutron experiments under extreme conditions at BER II
HZB offers access to a great variety of neutron instruments for complex experiments under extreme conditions. Both thermal and cold neutrons are available. Instruments provided with thermal neutrons are located in the Experimental Hall, instruments provided with cold neutrons are located in the Neutron Guide Hall. An exception is the diffractometer EXED in the Neutron Guide Hall, which can be operated both with thermal and cold neutrons.
Users who are unsure which is the most appropriate instrument for their experiment should contact the User Office for help.
In order to achieve those extreme conditions, HZB is placing a special emphasis on sample environment for e.g. high magnetic fields, high pressures, high to ultra low temperatures - and combinations thereof.
