XN Ray Central Office

 

Synchrotron X-ray and neutron radiation play a fundamental role in modern structure analysis as probes for the non-destructive investigation of materials. These investigation methods can be applied to a broad range of research fields, such as materials sciences, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, earth sciences, archeology, and history of art. Apart from fundamental research, experimental methods are more and more being devised for investigations in the field of technical applications.

The use of synchrotron X-ray and neutron radiation at large scientific facilities requires a sound knowledge of the available experimental possibilities offered by the various tools and instruments.

Requests for the use of these instruments - so-called "beam time" - must be granted by a referee committee.

 

In order to actively support RWTH researchers with planning in carrying outtheir measurements on thses instruments, the ERS has established a central office for the use of synchrotron x-ray and neutron radiations (XN-Ray).

Trhough exhibitions, workshops, and individual advice we seek to make it possible for a broad range of users to utilize the synchrotron X-ray and neutron radiation instruments for their research.
