Kick-off SAGA – Preparing for a GISANS instrument at ESS – A Swedish Initiative

When: Friday 14 of January 2022
Where: Virtual and at LINXS
Registration deadline: January 11, 2022

The understanding of interfacial properties of materials, as well as interfacial processes in terms of structural, morphological and compositional changes, is of crucial importance in many scientific fields that include chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. A wide consortium, building on the strength in surface and interface science in Sweden, has formed to push for a Swedish led project to design and construct such an instrument at ESS. In this project we will develop a conceptual and technical design for the world leading neutron surface scattering beamline and benchmark it against existing instruments. The design of the instrument is directly motivated by the science and business case developed in coordination with the international community and will take full advantage of the brilliance of ESS. The output of the project will be a competitive instrument project proposal for the next ESS call and a detailed plan for the implementation of such a leading instrument. Particular emphasis will be dedicated to build competence in the development of neutron instrumentation in Sweden to enable strong engagement in the ESS instrument suite. This is the kick-off of a national Swedish project with international collaboration. The Swedish research council granted the funding for the project in November 2021.
