Leading the way to neutron instruments - step by step
The Neutron Pathfinder gives access to a database of all neutron instruments in European centres, that are open to external scientists. It was designed to fulfil three aims:
- to give general information about neutron methods (Methods section)
- to identify instruments that are used in certain fields of work (Science pathfinder) and
- to allow searching for the centres and instruments that allow a specific experiment (Experiment pathfinder).
Routine neutron users can start off by choosing an instrument type (Instrument pathfinder). In the second step, they can either get a list of the chosen type or refine the search according to the parameters for a specific experiment.
The Neutron Pathfinder is just an orientation tool.
It will provide you with information that allows you
• to find the instrument homepage at the facility for more detailed information
• to contact the responsible of the instrument at the facility and discuss your planned experiment.
Take into account that to perform an experiment you have to submit a proposal to the facility.
The Neutron Pathfinder is a project developed by NMI3, the Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy and KFN, the German Committee Research with Neutrons, in collaboration with the main European neutron facilities.
