Upgrade at DNS

With its compact design, large double-focus monochromator and wide-angle polarization analysis, DNS of JCNS at MLZ is optimized as a high intensity cold-neutron polarized instrument. Major instrument upgrades, including a new-generation Fe/Si supermirror based focusing polarizing bender and a 300 Hz disc chopper system, have been accomplished recently. This has opened up possibilities to combine polarized neutrons with time-of-flight spectroscopy for the studies of exotic magnetic order and excitations in quantum materials.

Users who are potentially interested in getting more information about DNS and experiments there should contact the instrument responsible, Y. Su (y.su@fz-juelich.de) and T. Müller (t.mueller@fz-juelich.de).
