Spallation Neutron Source
The Spallation Neutron Source offers unprecedented performance for neutron-scattering research with the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world. To realize the potential this offers for research in many fields, a world-class suite of instruments is being developed that makes optimal use of the SNS beams and that is suited to the needs of users across a broad range of disciplines. Instruments will be available to researchers with varying degrees of experience, from new graduate students and first-time neutron users to experienced users with an interest in instrument design.
An initial suite of instruments is available through a peer-reviewed proposal system. About 75% of the beam time on this instrument suite is available through the proposal system, with the remaining 25% for use by in-house scientific staff, for testing and calibration, for feasibility studies by users before submission of proposals, and for rapid response experiments that occur outside the regular proposal schedule.
