Project title: Neutron Polarisation Capability Development for User Experiment Applications on ESS Instruments
To meet the user community’s increasing demand for instruments that provide polarised neutrons, 12 of the 15 currently approved European Spallation Source (ESS) instruments will provide polarization capability. This in-kind project, fully integrated into the ESS Work Plan, will produce key polarisation equipment in a partnership between universities and the ESS. The equipment and tasks are selected based on their viability for cooperative development, timing, and promoting future users. Direct Swedish scientific involvement in polarised neutron instrumentation deepens the engagement in ESS, provides competence building and technology development for the wider Swedish research community.
The project is centrally coordinated through the LINXS Administration and co-led by the LINXS New Materials theme leader Prof Elizabeth Blackburn. Project tasks are carried out by collaborating teams from Lund University, Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
